Paulina Nieliwocki started her journey in flowers while she was a high-school teacher. She fell in love with flowers as a medium and left her career as an educator to open Blue Jasmine Floral in 2014. As a floral designer, she uses dainty accents, color, and texture to create her signature style. Paulina’s effervescent personality perfectly matches the whimsically exquisite floral designs she creates.
