prom was may 2nd for me and my boyfriend got me a really nice corsage of white roses. after prom my mom put it into an airtight daypack and it is in a cupboard in the fridge to try to grasp rid of moisture.it's been there since prom hours of darkness and i'm wondering when it's safe to take it out again.?
thankfulness
Answers: You might try taking the corsage out of the bag and hanging it upside down surrounded by a dark cool place. Leave it undisturbed for in the order of a month. The roses won't stay white, they will turn a tannish color and the greenery will dry up and get ugly. I own dried white and colored roses this way for my vintage crafts, but I wanted them to turn brown anyway.
I expect if you took the corsage to a florist, or at least call a few, they may know how to preserve it contained by silica gel beads. It is another process for drying flowers also. I have never tried it, but it's worth trying.
The just thing I did with my corsages be to arrange them nicely between 2 pieces of waxed article and put several heavy books on top, then put them surrounded by a scrapbook. Over time they all disintigrated anyway, but the memories lasted for years!
