How to Hang a Wedding Veil and Get the Creases Out
In short
Hang your veil as soon as it arrives. Most creases drop out within a few days. If any remain, hang it in the bathroom while a hot shower runs, then leave it to dry. Never iron or steam a veil directly, as tulle can melt and that cannot be undone.
Hang your veil as soon as it arrives. Most creases from the post drop out on their own within a few days. Here is how to hang it with our veil hanging hook and storage bag set, which includes a hook, a hanging attachment for longer veils and a storage bag.
How to hang your veil, step by step
1. Hang the swing. Put the hanger on a hook against a smooth, flat wall, with the ribbon pulled taut.
2. Clip on the comb. Clip your veil comb to the hook and let the veil hang free.
3. Drape it over the pole. For a longer veil, find roughly the middle and drape it over the pole.
4. Fold it in half. Carefully fold the veil in half and spread it evenly across the pole.
5. Zip it away. Hook the hanger through the top of the veil bag and zip it closed until your wedding day.
How to get creases out of your veil
Hang it and give it time first. If creases are still there after a few days, hang the veil in the bathroom while you run a hot shower, so the steam softens the tulle, then leave it hanging to dry.
Please never iron or steam a veil directly. Tulle can melt with direct heat, and that cannot be undone.
When you need to pack your veil, fold it gently. Never scrunch or twist it.

Your questions
How do I get my veil into the hanging bag without creasing it?
Clip the comb to the hook, drape the veil over the pole, fold it in half and spread it evenly across the pole. Then hook the hanger through the top of the bag and zip it closed.
Can I steam or iron the creases out of my veil?
No. Never iron or steam a veil directly, because tulle can melt. Hang it first and give it time, then use the steam from a hot shower in the bathroom if creases remain.
Should I put my veil back in its box before the wedding?
Hang it instead. Hang it as soon as it arrives and keep it in the hanging bag until the day, which helps the creases drop out.
