Did you know...

That most of the furniture made today uses substitute materials such as particleboard. Because particleboard is made from wood fragments bonded with resin, it is considered an all wood product BUT IT IS NOT solid wood.

Our Amish furniture is made of SOLID Oak, Cherry, Maple, Hickory or Quartersawn Oak.

Why is Oak Creek Furniture Different?

We have chosen Amish furniture craftsmen who are recognized leaders in the solid wood furniture industry. Amish furniture is made by hand in small Amish wood shops so every piece of furniture receives the same attention to detail. Our Amish handcrafted furniture is built to last.

Cuddle up...

Amish bedroom furniture brings to mind the simplicity and elegance of another era. The skills of the Amish furniture makers have been honed, developed, and handed down over generations.

Now, we as consumers have the opportunity to have the same beautiful furniture in our homes as the Amish have in their homes.

Our Amish furniture is made of SOLID Oak, Cherry, Maple, Hickory or Quartersawn Oak and is built to last.

Polywood Outdoor Furniture...

At Oak Creek Furniture, you will find many different styles of polywood furniture. The material used is water and weather resistant, and most importantly, created from recycled polyethylene. For this reason, our polywood lawn furniture is considered a green product.

There is no maintenance required, no cracking or splinting, and the polywood material does not promote bacterial growth or mildew. Choose from seven different colors and products such as swings, gliders, benches, deck chairs, table & chair sets, bridges and footrests.

Why all the fuss about details?

Because the Amish craftsmen build furniture that your children and grandchildren will be proud to inherit.

Come see our Amish-built bedroom furniture and oak dining room furniture. The selection of the boards and the grade of the hard wood, along with dovetailed drawers, mortise-andtenon construction and the multistep finish are all just small parts of the build process that add up to an heirloom quality piece of oak or cherry furniture.

Holland and Scott The Beginning...

Who says there were no winners in John McCain’s 2008 Presidential campaign?

Scott Burton certainly considers himself one.

That is because at the Republican National Convention amidst former Presidents, sitting statesmen, and some of the most powerful people in the country, he met the most important person in the building - his future wife. While Scott and Holland admit their relationship didn’t involve love at first sight, they agree that the second time did the trick.

Proposal...

Although they both worked in politics and lived in Washington D.C., Scott had to return to his hometown of Chicago once the campaign ended. Over the next 14 months, the two racked up frequent flyer miles as they never spent more than three weeks apart.

It was only a matter of time before Scott returned to D.C. True to the excitement that defined their relationship, he proposed on the eve of Holland’s birthday, at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in the middle of one of the worst blizzards Washington had ever seen.

Luck or Jinx?

Here are a few traditions that according to some may bring one or the other!

It’s your lucky day!

luck because its shape echoes that of a tear.

Tuck a sugar cube into your glove -according to Greek culture, the sugar will sweeten your union.

One of history’s earliest engagement rings was given to Princess Mary, daughter of Henry VIII. She was two years old at the time.

The English believe a spider found in a wedding dress means good luck. Yikes!

In English tradition, Wednesday is considered the “best day” to marry, although Monday is for wealth and Tuesday is for health.

Seventeen tons of gold are made into wedding rings each year in the United States!

Fashion is Here!

The groom carries the bride across the threshold to bravely protect her from evil spirits lurking below.

Queen Victoria started the Western world’s white wedding dress trend in 1840 -- before then, brides simply wore their best dress.

Saturday is the unluckiest wedding day, according to English folklore. Funny -- it’s the most popular day of the week to marry!

In Asia, wearing robes with embroidered cranes symbolizes fidelity for the length of a marriage.

Rain on your wedding day is actually considered good luck, according to Hindu tradition!

Ancient Greeks and Romans thought the veil protected the bride from evil spirits. Brides have worn veils ever since.

Peas are thrown at Czech newlyweds instead of rice.

On her wedding day, Grace Kelly wore a dress with a bodice made from beautiful 125-year-old lace.

A Finnish bride traditionally went doorto-door collecting gifts in a pillowcase, accompanied by an older married man who represented long marriage.

Ring in the New!

In Japan, white was always the color of choice for bridal ensembles -- long before Queen Victoria popularized it in the Western world.

In Korea, brides don bright hues of red and yellow to take their vows.

The tradition of a wedding cake comes from ancient Rome, where revelers broke a loaf of bread over a bride’s head for fertility’s sake.

The custom of tiered cakes emerged from a game where the bride and groom attempted to kiss over an ever-higher cake without knocking it over.

Legend says single women will dream of their future husbands if they sleep with a slice of groom’s cake under their pillows.

An old wives’ tale: If the younger of two sisters marries first, the older sister must dance barefoot at the wedding or risk never landing a husband.

Party the Night Away In many cultures around the world -including Celtic, Hindu and Egyptian weddings -- the hands of a bride and groom are literally tied together to demonstrate the couple’s commitment to each other and their new bond as a married couple (giving us the popular phrase “tying the knot”).

The Roman goddess Juno rules over marriage, the hearth, and childbirth, hence the popularity of June weddings.

Princess Victoria established the tradition of playing Wagner’s “Bridal Chorus” during her wedding processional in 1858.

Brides carry or wear “something old” on their wedding day to symbolize continuity with the past.

The bride stands to the groom’s left during a Christian ceremony, because in bygone days the groom needed his right hand free to fight off other suitors.

Priscilla Presley’s engagement ring was a whopping 3 1/2-carat rock surrounded by a detachable row of smaller diamonds.

The “something blue” in a bridal ensemble symbolizes purity, fidelity, and love.

On average, 7,000 couples marry each day in the United States.

Diamonds set in gold or silver became popular as betrothal rings among wealthy Venetians toward the end of the fifteenth century.

Food and Family

Valentine’s Day and New Year’s Eve are the two busiest “marriage” days in Las Vegas -elopement central!

Engagement and wedding rings are worn on the fourth finger of the left hand because it was once thought that a vein in that finger led directly to the heart.

In the symbolic language of jewels, a sapphire in a wedding ring means marital happiness.

A pearl engagement ring is said to be bad

In Egypt, the bride’s family traditionally does all the cooking for a week after the wedding, so the couple can…relax.

In South Africa, the parents of both bride and groom traditionally carried fire from their hearths to light a new fire in the newlyweds’ hearth.

The Catholic tradition of “posting the banns” to announce a marriage originated as a way to ensure the bride and groom were not related.

Stag parties were first held by ancient Spartan soldiers, who kissed their bachelor days goodbye with a raucous party.

Boudoir Portraits...

Is this new trend for you?

H

ey, brides! Have you heard about one of the latest trends in wedding photography? Hint: It involves the bride wearing a lot less than her gown.

Boudoir photography is definitely gaining popularity among to-be brides, but what’s it really all about? Are these these risque pics right for you?

So, what is boudoir photography exactly?

Boudoir photography is a sexy new trend that’s especially popular as a wedding day gift from a bride to her groom. Boudoir photos are usually taken wearing just lingerie. They’re hardly X-rated, but rather PG-13 -- as in classic pinup-inspired pics, or what the pros call ‘implied nudes.’ That means you’re not wearing much of anything, but you’re also not showing off anything either (think shot from the back, or lying on your stomach).

When should I schedule the session?

If you’re spending time and money on an exercise and beauty routine, you may want to wait until a few weeks before the wedding to show off the results. Plus, a fun

ALT Magazine

and pampering photo shoot is a good way to indulge and take some time out from wedding planning.

How long does it take?

Though it depends on the package you choose, your boudoir photo session will probably last about two hours. Why so long?

It takes time for hair and makeup, if you choose this option. It may also take you a little while to relax. Most brides aren’t used to lounging around wearing little, if any, clothing in front of the camera, so your first few shots will likely look a bit stiff.

Where should I have it done?

Talk with your photographer to come up with the best location. Many photographers may be able to do a photo session in a studio.

Another popular site is a posh hotel room.

Your own home or a borrowed home is another option. The main key is to get an okay from your photographer on the locale -a number of different backgrounds for poses are important, and they’ll also need lots of natural light.

What should I wear?

The most important thing -- choose outfits that make you feel sexy. A good rule of thumb: Bring something white, something black, and something in a bright color so you can mix and match. A corset will create sexy curves. In addition to lingerie, don’t forget shoes, jewelry, and that engagement ring.

Should I bring anyone along?

Though you don’t want to turn your shoot into a three-ring circus, it can sometimes be a good idea to bring a friend. Why? You’ll feel more at ease if you can make a few jokes with a pal.

Make sure you are comfortable with your photographer. Many women prefer women photographers -- so make sure that if you book a studio with multiple photographers, you know who will be taking your photographs.

You’ll be posing like a pro in no time -- but of course, this is a one-time-only exclusive for a very special audience (your very lucky groom).
