The florist sent my friend’s away to a place called Precious Petals but I haven’t seen the results yet but I think they freeze dry the bouquet. Not sure about DIY though, my friend was going to put them in silica (I think that’s the word) but got scared!
yep – you can microwave them. it wont press them but it should keep them nice !
obviously dont be thick and put wired ones in or use anything metal etc … but just find something to support the flower while drying and do a bit of practice first on the “less perfect” ones before you go for the main thing
after spray with proper hairspray to coat them 🙂
what flowers are you doing ? as not all are suitable for microwave !
