How to Unwrinkle Your Wedding Veil (Without Losing Your Mind)
Your beautiful wedding veil might arrive a bit wrinkled, thanks to the delicate tulle and the joys of shipping. Don’t stress—getting those wrinkles out is easier than you think! Here are some simple and stress-free ways to smooth out your veil before the big day.
As soon as your veil arrives, take it out of the box (gently, of course!) and hang it up right away. Don’t let it sit crumpled in a corner. Hang it somewhere it won't touch the floor, and give it a few days—gravity is your friend, and most of those wrinkles should disappear on their own.
Still have some stubborn creases? No worries! Hang your veil on the bathroom door (not the shower door—trust us) and let the steam from a hot shower work its magic. The steam will help loosen up those wrinkles. Once you’re done, let it dry and check for any lingering creases. If they’re still there, repeat the process or keep reading for the next trick.
Got a garment steamer? Perfect! Just turn it on and wait for it to heat up. Hold it about 15–20 cm from your veil and gently steam from top to bottom in circular motions. You’ll see the wrinkles melt away like magic. Once you’re done, hang your veil up to cool and dry. And a heads-up: be extra careful around any crystals, pearls, or other fancy embellishments—those could be easily knocked loose.
In a rush or just not feeling the DIY route? No problem. Drop your veil off at the dry cleaner, and they’ll professionally press it for you—usually in a day or so. For a small fee, your veil will be as wrinkle-free as a runway model’s gown.
There you go! With these tricks, your veil will be looking smooth, sleek, and ready to shine on your wedding day.
Whatever you do, never take an iron to it, as it can melt the delicate tulle material.
Ironing the veil will cause damage to your veil which will not be repairable.
