Second Bloom is based out of Austin, TX.
​
​
We're a full service floral preservation studio offering preserved floral art and preservation services for special event flowers.
​
Process
​
We use a desiccant preservation method which takes anywhere from one to four weeks to prepare flowers.
​
The entire preservation and design process takes anywhere from one to three months, depending on the project.
.
Flowers may undergo some color change in the process: reds and pink colors may deepen and white flowers will become creamy.
​
​
​
Care!
​
We recommend keeping all dried and preserved flowers out of direct sunlight, and out of environments with significant humidity or rapid changes in temperature.
My name is Taylor and I began Second Bloom in 2019 in my lifelong home of Austin, TX.
​
The work I do with flowers is a result of a physical disability that led me to create a business I could run out of my home studio.
For me, floral preservation is a response to a floral industry that is excessively wasteful and ecologically unsustainable.
I hope to highlight the beauty of local flowers and the work of small-scale farmers in the regenerative agriculture and Slow Flowers movements whenever possible.
​
My hope is that through the practice of floral preservation and long-lasting flowers,
we can make flowers more accessible, and appreciate them more deeply,
for much longer.
