French Polynesian Destination Weddings

Friday, July 30th, 2010

With the growing trend of destination weddings, couples are constantly trying to find the next new and exciting location to have their dream wedding.

One hot location to consider is the French Polynesian Islands. This paradise is an archipelago with more than a hundred different islands that you can have your once in a lifetime wedding on.

With a staggering 118 islands to choose from, you will surely find an island that will have everything you’ve ever dreamed of for your wedding . . . and perhaps even more! Famous for their Tahitian islands, with its “lush world consisting of dazzling waterfalls, soaring mountains, amazing plateaus, and pools,” Tahiti provides a perfect setting for weddings and honeymoons.

Another exotic favorite of the French Polynesian Islands is Bora Bora, which is “bestowed with towering volcanic peaks, lush green vegetation, and beautiful lagoons filled with rare as well as colorful fish and corals.” For a more traditional Polynesian wedding ceremony, visit the island of Moorea. Moorea is the home of the famous Tiki Village Cultural centre, and is the spot to perform traditional Polynesian royal weddings.

While you can leave your cares behind when you get to the islands, there are a number of necessary pieces of information and legal items to arrange before you leave. Like any destination wedding location, the French Polynesian Islands have specific document and legal requirements you need to be aware of. Check this website listing the conditions and requested documents to have before you start planning your dream wedding:http://www.houseoftravel.co.nz/travel-tools/weddings/tahiti/legal-requirements.htm.

All in all, the little bit of paper work necessary for your dream French Polynesian wedding is definitely worth it. The lush forests, waterfalls, white sand beaches, and extraordinarily clear waters are a must-see for anyone, and sure to be an unforgettable romantic experience for any couple.

Just looking at photos of the French Polynesian Islands brings on a desire to Google “Tahiti seat sales.” This sunny, blue paradise is perfect for any occasion whether it is a wedding, honeymoon…or simply a vacation.

Destination Weddings: Get Your Groom A Perfect Linen Suit

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

At Derks, we carry a large variety of unique linen island wedding apparel for destination and beach weddings, events, and tropical vacations. We specialize in men’s linen beach attire such as linen suits, pants, and shirts.

The most important thing with linen is that the fabric is natural and it has a natural look. When purchasing linen clothing, one must know that there will be wrinkles, but that’s one of the delicate and unique features of linen. If you notice any heavy wrinkles, don’t worry, most hotels have in-house dry cleaning so get them to dry-clean it and the wrinkles will relax from the travel. Make sure that linen clothing is always hung up as it is super easy for it to wrinkle. Other than that, just relax, enjoy the hot weather, and have fun.

To look absolutely perfect, linen should be pressed. But if you’re doing your own washing, you can avoid some of the work. Never over-dry the fabric and avoid using the high dryer temperature while drying. Remove your clothes as soon as the dryer is done. If you can, put out the corners and press them by hand. All of these steps can greatly reduce the amount of ironing you have to do later.

Marvelous Mexico

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

Mexico - just thinking the name calls up images of beautiful beaches and incredible culture. Mexico offers something for everyone wanting to get married abroad. It is great for those wanting the fairytale beach wedding, or those wanting a wedding full of culture, or those just wanting to get away from it all. Mexico fits most every budget and is great for groups. Imagine water so clear, you can see to the bottom from almost anywhere. That is the backdrop to the white sand that your bare feet are standing in. Your dress is flowing in the breeze and your fiancé is across from you in a beach shirt and shorts. You exchange your vows in front of your friends and family. After many incredible pictures, you enter one of the all-inclusive restaurants to have your reception dinner. The food is incredible and the drinks are flowing. Your hotel wedding planner has taken care of everything - all you needed to do was show up. Easy. Simple. Beautiful. If you are planning to go away for a week, why not make it two. You can then have a honeymoon after your wedding. After everyone ventures home, go ahead and switch hotels. This will change up your vacation and give you something new to look forward to. An incredible way to start your lives together.

In Mexico you can choose a destination full of wonderful activities or the relaxation of a beautiful beach. There is the bustling non-stop atmosphere of Cancun or Acapulco or the more laid-back resorts of the Mayan Rivera. Acres of tranquil landscaped gardens, historical colonial cities, costal reefs, hacienda style hotels and miles of swaying beaches are just some of your options in Mexico. With all of its varied attractions, Mexico is definitely unique.
