It is brand new, but has wrinkles in it. What do I do?

Hey! I am a new bride myself, and this worked for me. Put your iron on the lowest setting, and place a towel over your veil. Then keep ironing and checking until it's wrinkle free. Or take it to any dry cleaner and they can steam it for you. You might also want to try just hanging it up in the shower while it gets steamy and them gently pull the wrinkles out. Hope it helps! Congrats!

A great, safe way to do this is to hang the veil in the bathroom while you are taking a shower. When you get done with the shower make sure to pull the layers straight and it should help relax it.
Another way is to hold a steam iron NEAR it without touching the iron to the veil, continue to steam the veil while pulling sections to pull the wrinkles out.
I would suggest trying the first option before the second one. If all else fails you can take it to a dry cleaner to have it steamed.

Cover the tulle or netting with a cotton cloth, like from a cotton sheet; go to a thrift store and buy a cheap cotton sheet if you don't have one. Use steam setting on your iron but not too hot. If this doesn't do the trick, dampen the cotton cloth, wring it out, and press the veil using a bit higher setting, until you fine the right temp that works. Just always be careful to not touch the iron to the tulle or it'll melt. Get someone to help move things around on the ironing board if it's a long or full veil.

Hang it in the bathroom while you take a long, hot steamy shower. The steam will take the wrinkles out of it without damaging it. Steam is awesome for getting rid of wrinkles in fabric. Then hang it up in the sun till it is totally dry (you dont want it going mildewey if you store it away damp) then hang it up until the big day, keep it hanging, dont transport it in a box or anything. Good luck with the wedding. x

You can use a steam iron on the veil. Just be careful. Or you can put it in your bathroom and the steam from the shower will remove the wrinkles or bring it to your local dry cleaner and have him steam out the wrinkles.

When you have your wedding dress pressed, the cleaners should also be able to steam or press your veil.
You can also get a hand held portable steamer and do it your self. You can try ironing on a very low heat over a towel, but I wouldn't reccomend it.

Take it to a dry cleaner to have it steamed. DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE THE WRINKLES YOURSELF. It will probably only cost less than $5.00 to have it professionally steamed, then you won't have to worry about something happening to the veil.

Have you tried hanging in the bathroom while the shower is running - very hot water? The steam should take out the wrinkles.

You can take it to a professional cleaners to have it pressed or steamed. You can try steaming it in your bathroom by running the hot water in the shower and building up a lot of steam in the room, but your best bet is a professional.
