The Heart Behind the Work

Hi, I’m Ilby — the heart behind Petals & Psalms. What began as a love for flowers has grown into a way to serve people, celebrate meaningful moments, and remind others they’re seen and cared for. Jesus has done so much for me and blessed my life in ways that continually humble and ground me, and this little business is one of those sweet gifts. When I design, I’m inspired by the intricate beauty He created — the texture, color, and delicate detail found in every bloom. I pour intention into each arrangement, paying attention to the story, emotion, and heart behind it. Whether it’s for celebration, comfort, or simply to bring a little beauty into the day, my hope is that each piece feels genuine, personal, and made with love.
