Re: Did anyone dry their bok?????
Ummmmm, I saw somewhere where they tell you how to do it yourself. I think you just hang it upside down and try not to let the flowers stick together. Best to hang it less than 24 hrs after your wedding (to avoid as much droopage as possible). Crap, where the heck did I see it????? It was in a bridal mag - Brides maybe? It was last month's issue with the green cover. I think it was Sept 06..... I have it at home, I'll try to remember to look at it. I dog-eared the page..... Try googling it....

i heard to hang it upside down. here's what i did.
in my SUV, it has one of those privacy screens/covers for the 'trunk' and it was in the way of our HM luggage, so i removed it. then genius struck. i stuck the bok on it [the ribbon had a loop in it sturdy enough for this] and hung the privacy screen which of course all rolled up is a bar] over the backs of 2 chairs. when we arrived, it was dry. it is now in a vase in my linen closet...seems silly to have it now, but i have it!

It's easy to dry flowers. All you have to do is hang them upside down in a place where they won't be disturbed. Definitely do it before they start to wilt though. They look better than.

I dried it myself...when I got home from our reception (still in my dress) the first thing I proceeded to do was hang my bo-k from the ceiling on a string so that it dried in perfect shape...took it down when we got back from out HM a week later and its perfectly dried now

My friend did it, but she sprayed the flowers with aquanet hairspray, almost a whole can.

man...it will take more effort to package it up and send it out than to just hang it upside down!

I think you can get the kit in Michaels and do it yourself. It is much cheaper.
