Place them in the oven and leave the door cracked so moisture can evaporate. Flowers will typically need eight to twelve hours to dry completely.
How do you preserve a flower wreath?
Hang the flowers upside down, using the end of a string to attach the bouquet to a rod or hanger. Hang them in a dry and moderately warm room, like inside a closet.
