The Advanced Design Series Featuring Paulina Nieliwocki – Creative Director and CEO of Blue Jasmine Floral
We at FlowerSchool NY pride ourselves on the successes and accomplishments of our alumni. We are delighted to have Paulina Nieliwocki, Creative Director and CEO of Blue Jasmine Floral, instruct this Advanced Design Series!
Sharing her journey into the floral design industry, Paulina says: “It was in 2014 that I left teaching high school and opened Blue Jasmine, naming it after my grandmother’s favorite bloom, with the idea of providing and teaching an aesthetic that spoke to my idea of beauty – wild, whimsical, artful, and refined”.

The Advanced Design Series follows the Introduction and Intermediate Series programs where students learn more advanced techniques, such as color theory, recipe building and ultimately begin to develop their own style of floral design. This is where the students become designers and ultimately gain the confidence needed to call yourself a floral designer.
This program focuses on four advanced level techniques and will learn how to differentiate, and create, different design styles including organic, classic and modern style of flowers. Each student will also be responsible for creating a concept and design, picking their own color palette for each instructional technique, and selecting their own flowers to best fit their concept.
In this series, an array of flowers and color palettes are available to students who then choose accompanying vessels and create designs accordingly. Guidance is given based on color, texture and scale appropriateness, and new designer mechanic techniques are featured.
