Today we’re visiting with Paulina Nieliwocki, owner of Blue Jasmine Floral in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey. Paulina was a high school language arts teacher and translator looking for a new adventure that challenged her while still feeding her creative soul. Remembering her love of flowers as a young girl, she made a plan, took a risk, opened Blue Jasmine Floral and never looked back. Her love of flowers and teaching are contagious.  Grab a drink and join us as we talk about:  how she managed the quick turnaround between resigning her teaching job and opening a flower shop her go-to floral design principles the blooms she considers to be "the most special" the mechanics behind her recognizable compote arrangements how she successfully juggled a retail flower shop and an wedding/event business how she designed her studio space how she restructured her business during the pandemic how she trains her staff to design in the Blue Jasmine aesthetic one thing she'd like to see change for the floral design profession a niche she's hoping someone will take advantage of by starting a business to help wedding/event florists (hint hint!)
