Myth 1: Veils are too delicate to store properly.
Reality: Storing your veil is simpler than you think! Just hang it on a padded hanger, cover it with a garment bag (avoid plastic!), and keep it in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
Myth 2: You can't clean your veil at home.
Reality: For synthetic veils without embellishments, a gentle hand wash works wonders. Use cold water, a tiny bit of gentle detergent, and hang it to dry. For specific marks, a gentle stain remover in a light solution does the trick. However, veils with embellishments should be taken to a professional.
Myth 3: Ironing a veil is too risky.
Reality: Steaming is the safest option, but if you need to iron, it’s doable! Use a low heat setting, place a damp cloth between the iron and your veil, and avoid any embellishments. It’s easy and safe when done right.
Myth 4: Traveling with a veil is difficult, and could ruin it.
Reality: Traveling with your veil is straightforward. Lay it flat in a garment bag, and add some acid-free tissue paper between the layers for extra protection. Your veil will arrive in perfect condition.
Myth 5: Once it's wrinkled, it’s ruined.
Reality: Wrinkles can be easily handled. Use a handheld steamer or iron with a damp cloth to remove wrinkles safely. Your veil will look as good as new.
