Zulamita

Hi, I'm Zulamita — the heart behind Petals of Grace.

My love for flowers started long before I ever owned a business. Throughout my childhood in Maryland, I'd spend some Friday afternoons at church with my mom and aunt, arranging flowers for the altar. It was there, surrounded by the most beautiful scents and textures, that I fell in love with the art of floristry.

There's something truly magical about a single flower — the way God places so much detail into every stem, every petal, every bloom. I never stopped admiring that.

I now call North Carolina home, where I moved to support my husband's ministry, and where Petals of Grace was born. I began making arrangements at my new church, and through every stem and bloom, I began feeling God's love and presence guiding my own hands.

My roots are deeply grounded in my evangelical faith, and it shows up in my work — every arrangement I create is made with intention, love, and gratitude.

At Petals of Grace, I believe flowers aren't just decorations. They're expressions of beauty, care, and the grace God pours into the little things.

Whether I'm designing for a special event, a celebration, or just because — I pour my whole heart into every single piece.

I'd love to create something beautiful for you.
