Dried & Pressed Flowers

Can I preserve this bouquet?

16 years ago

My daughter was married sat 6/30/07. Her bouquet has orchids glued to a base of carnations and has the long trailing orchids going down. Is there any way to dry/preserve these types of flowers? They still look pretty fresh as I've had it in the fridge but I need to do it soon if I can. I just haven't had a minute to ask till now. Anybody know? Thanks!
