Where to Use Sheer Voile
- Backdrops: Hang panels behind a sweetheart table, head table, dessert table, or photo area. The fabric lets light through, so placing string lights or uplighting behind the panels creates a soft glow.
- Ceilings: Swag ceiling draping from a center point out to the walls, or run long lengths across the room. This softens bare ceilings and makes a large hall feel more intimate.
- Ceremony spaces: Frame an altar, wrap an arch, or line the aisle with panels for a light, airy look at indoor or outdoor ceremonies.
- Room dividers and entrances: Use 12 ft or 14 ft panels to section off a lounge, buffet, or service area without blocking light. You can also frame a doorway to mark the entrance.
- Pipe and drape setups: Hang panels on a pipe and drape stand for backdrops anywhere in the room, even where there’s no wall or ceiling to attach them to.
How to Mix and Match
Layer for depth or coverage. Voile is sheer, so you can see through it. Two layers look richer and hide more. You can also hang voile in front of a solid drape, or layer two colors such as white over blush, for a soft blend.
Gather for fullness. A panel hung flat looks thin. Plan more fabric width than the space you’re covering so the voile gathers into soft folds. Use the drape calculator in our size guide to work out how many panels you need.
Match the drapes to the tables. Repeat the drape color in a runner from our table runners collection, and keep the base tablecloth neutral, choosing from our tablecloths collection. For example, white voile over ivory tablecloths gives a soft look, while black voile over white tablecloths gives more contrast.
Finish the room. Choose centerpieces with candles or florals that pick up the drape color. Complete the seating with covers or sashes from our chair linens.
Flame Retardant Details and Care
The sheer voile drapes, ceiling draping, and fabric rolls in this collection are flame retardant (FR). Product pages for items such as the white 14 ft panel and the white fabric roll include a link to a Flame Retardant (FR) Test Form that you can share with your venue. Check each product page for its form before your event.
Washing affects flame retardancy. CV Linens™ product care notes say these drapes can be machine washed in cold water and dried on low heat, but flame retardancy diminishes with each wash. To keep the FR treatment effective:
- Wash only when needed.
- Use a gentle cycle with mild detergent.
- Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric.
- Hang to dry, or tumble dry on low heat.
For wrinkles, steam the fabric or iron on low heat with a thin cloth between the iron and the voile. High heat can melt polyester. Our linen care guide has more on caring for polyester and lightweight fabrics.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these sheer voile drapes flame retardant?
Yes. The drapes, ceiling draping, and fabric rolls in this collection are flame retardant. Many product pages link to an FR Test Form you can share with your venue. Keep in mind that flame retardancy diminishes with each wash, so wash these drapes only when needed.
How many sheer voile panels do I need?
Each panel is 118" wide. A flat, single-layer look needs about one panel for every 118" of width you’re covering. For a fuller, gathered look, plan for more panels. The drape calculator in our size guide estimates the number of panels from your rod or crossbar length and the fullness you want.
Can you see through sheer voile?
Yes. Sheer voile is designed to let light through, which creates its soft glow. For more coverage, layer two panels, hang voile over a solid drape, or choose a darker color such as black or navy.
How do I wash sheer voile without damaging it?
Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, or hand wash. Hang to dry or tumble dry on low heat. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric. Washing reduces flame retardancy, so wash only when necessary.
How do I get wrinkles out of sheer voile?
Steam the drape while it hangs, or iron on low heat with a thin cloth between the iron and the voile. Avoid high heat, which can melt polyester or leave shiny marks.
