Hi, I’m David Zelaya Arias — the heart and hands behind DAZEL Florals.
My journey with flowers is deeply personal. I founded DAZEL in 2022, shortly after receiving a life-saving liver transplant. That experience shifted everything for me — it gave me a renewed sense of purpose and a deep appreciation for beauty, legacy, and the fleeting nature of life. Florals became my way of honoring those emotions, telling stories through color, texture, and design.
At DAZEL Florals, we don’t just create arrangements, we craft moments. From whimsical weddings to heartfelt tributes, our work is rooted in intention and soul. Based in North Carolina and expanding into the DMV area, we design lush, modern florals for events that deserve to be unforgettable.
​
DAZEL Florals proudly celebrates love in all its forms. We are LGBTQI+ friendly, and our studio is a safe, welcoming space for everyone. Whoever you are, and whoever you love, we are honored to be part of your story.
​
This business is my second chance, a living dream that blossomed from the most vulnerable chapter of my life. And it’s my joy to bring your most meaningful moments to life with the same care and heart that saved mine.
​
Let’s create something beautiful together.
