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.

Magical weddings, magical settings. Let them make your special day unforgettable!

You’ve made it through the planning, the stresses, the ceremony and the fabulous party that followed. Now it’s time for you and your new husband to head off on your honeymoon! But where will you go?

The Caribbean: the Dominican Republic, Punta Cana, Barbados and more – pristine white sand beaches, relaxed atmosphere, lush tropical gardens and majestic architecture. Unspoiled scenery will take your breath away and forty miles of pearl-white sand with luxurious beach resorts line the eastern coast. Vacationers can hike trails and view some of the native species of animals and vegetation or relax on the beach.

Mexico: the Mayan Rivera, Cabo San Lucas and more – colourful resorts, full service spas and rich botanical gardens. The food is incredible and the drinks are flowing. There is the bustling non-stop atmosphere of Cancun or Acapulco or the more laid-back resorts of the Mayan Rivera. With all of its varied attractions, Mexico is definitely unique.

Jamaica – tropical plantations, immaculate white sands and sparkling waterfalls. Nestled in the hills or on the beaches, there is a wide range of delightful accommodations that will nurture your romance, and exceed your expectations.

Hawaii: Maui, Oahu and more – beautiful beaches, casual atmosphere, flowing waterfalls and amazing scenery. Each island has its own identity, from the commercial to the small and intimate, each supplying a little something special. Have a toast to the sunset in a catamaran off Lanai and stargaze atop Mauna Kea on the Big Island or dine and dance deep into the night on Oahu.

Las Vegas – your choice: quaint and romantic or crazy and kooky. Head out to see a Cirque du Soleil performance or watch the beautiful fountains at The Bellagio.

Cruises – a variety of different stops allows you to check out numerous locations on one trip. We strongly recommend opting for the balcony cabin and arranging a romantic sunset dinner on your very own balcony under the stars… or maybe breakfast served just the way you like it while sailing the high seas during the morning sunrise.

Paris, France – the city of love with quiet sophistication. There is a personality, flair and quiet sophistication in Paris and the rest of France that is unlike any other city in the world. Lovers can immerse themselves in the same romantic Parisian atmosphere that has inspired centuries of novels, paintings, photographs and films.

The Cook Islands – 15 islands with lush rainforests and white sand beaches. Escape to the magic of a tropical island is the ultimate in romance. The azure blue lagoon and endless sand banks are breathtaking, perfect for that romantic getaway.
