Steaming a veil?

Kristina, on October 3, 2018 at 10:30 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 6

Hey everyone! The veil I'm wearing is my something borrowed, but it is pretty wrinkled. I'm a little nervous to steam it myself, I don't want to ruin it. Has anyone had luck steaming it themselves with a steamer or in the shower? Or should I just pay to have a dry cleaner do it? Thanks!

    I steamed my veils myself. I did a trial run on one of my FH's shirts because I didn't want to ruin any of my clothes lol. But honestly it was so easy. Just make sure you keep moving the steamer and you'll have no issues!

    I bought a mini steamer from Amazon for about $20, its awesome and I use it on everything, even plan to use it to steam my dress! It's not very powerful and it takes a little bit of time, maybe 2-3 passes to get wrinkles 100% out. But because its so gentle I feel very comfortable using it on my dress and veil. On Amazon it's actually recommended to be able to use on wedding dresses! I recommend looking into this for an easy option that you can use even after the wedding!

    I hung mine in the bathroom whenever someone would take a shower and it worked like a charm!

    Veils usually release their wrinkles pretty easily by hanging them a couple weeks before the wedding, and in the bathroom for shower steam if needed. Otherwise, go with a low setting so you don't accidently melt the material.
