How To Incorporate It Into Your Wedding
The Wedding Unity Veil (or Couple Veil) is a traditional element of Filipino Catholic weddings. The Veil is draped over the couple's shoulders to represent God's protection (Catholic ceremonies) or the love of friends and family. The Veil symbolizes the couple's togetherness, now facing the world as one.
In traditionalĀ Filipino weddings, the Veil Sponsors drapeĀ the veil onto the married couple, pinning each end onto either the bride's veil, dress, or suit near or at shoulder height. TheĀ Unity CordĀ is then placed over the Veil as part of the Filipino tradition. Read more onĀ Filipino Wedding Traditions

To keep your wedding veil smooth and elegant for your special day:
1. Hang It Up
A few days before your event, hang your veil in a cool, dry place. Let gravity naturally ease out the folds and creases.
2. Steam Gently (Optional)
For quicker results, use a handheld steamer on the lowest setting. Hold it a few inches away and move in gentle, sweeping motions. You can also hang the veil in a steamy bathroom to relax the fabric naturally.
3. Iron With Care (If Needed)
If wrinkles remain, use an iron on low heat with a thin pressing cloth placed over the veil. Avoid direct heat to protect the delicate fabric and embroidery.
Tip: Always handle your veil with clean, dry hands and avoid high heat to keep it pristine.
