One way to save a bouquet is by drying the flowers, a process that’s been chronicled by The Spruce. Start by cutting off any excess leaves, then organize the blooms into small bundles. Tightly tie the stems together using a rubber band. Hook a paper clip through the rubber band and hang the bouquets upside down away from direct sunlight. Most flowers need between 10 and 20 days to dry out. Keep in mind that flowers with high water content, like sedum, may not produce the best results.
