What's the best way to dry out a bouquet of flowers?

If there are different methods for different types of flowers (or colours of flowers) please let me know!

What's the best way to dry out a bouquet of flowers?
Hi, will there are two ways ..... one... you can turn the whole bouquet upside down and put a rubber band around the stems and tie them up until they dry. two.... you can separate them and put them in to silica sand. They dry in about a week then uncover them and put the flowers back together again. It is important that the flowers aren't to far gone in the beginning to do this or they don't have a good outcome. Ok...
Reply:I find the best way to dry out flowers is by hanging them upside down on a line of twine,but not anyplace damp. Also, make sure that they are not already dying or wilted. Hope this info helps!
Reply:Hang them upside down .. this is no joke it works they stay in same color and shape just dry out
Reply:Tie a ribbon around them, or twine, and hang them upside down. Do not hang them on the wall though, they will flatten on that side. I always hung mine from the ceiling fan till they dried out. It keeps the petals from sagging down.
Reply:Hang them upside down until they are dry.


I used to tie the stems to a hanger, then put them in a closet.
Reply:Hang them upside down. You can also go to a craft store and buy a spray which you can put on the flowers to preserve them after they are dried! I did this with my wedding bouquet, they looked beautiful!
Reply:I take my flowers that are dying and put them outside for about an hour, until their completely dry and dehyderated. After that I hang them upside down by safety pinning the stems to a hanger and hanging the hanger by a window.





I've used this method for all flowers.
Reply:turn them upside down and hang them up. make sure to put them in a room with low humidity (no where near the bathroom, the steam from the shower will mess them up)
Reply:glycerin salt. It will preserve the color as well. Cut off the stems and place the flowers in a gallon bucket full of glycerin salt. (go to a florist store) then insert a wire and wrap the wire in green floral tape.
