Just hang it upside down, it will dry out.

Get them out of the water right away. Dry them upside down, spray them with an adhesive when they are dry, and put them in a shadow box frame with the invite or picture from the evening.

Hanging it upside down allows the flowers to dry out without opening up further, pick a cool, dark, dry place.

you could put it between your diary or a book and flatten it out then you can frame it

Keep it OUT of water and hang it upside down and let it dry. By keeping it IN water, that allows the blooms to open up completely and will cause the petals to fall off.

By hanging it upside down, that keeps the petals in place and prevents them from completely opening up.

After it has dried up completely.after 2-3 weeks, then spray it with some cheap hairspray to help hold everything in place.

You can then display in a shadow box or place in a shoe box for storage.

Glad you had a memorable evening.

Hang it upside down for a while. Then put it in some silica gel. That will pull all the moisture out of it. You can get the stuff and info at a good craft store of florists.
