Each ketubah is unique, created through conversations with the couple, and is therefore only limited by our imaginations!  The ketubot below will give you an idea of the types of designs I have created in the past.  But there are many possibilities and I am excited to begin the process of creating a ketubah especially for you.  Find out more about how a ketubah is created by visiting "The Process" page.

The design of the Circle Ketubah highlights the natural beauty of the text. This option is also perfect for the artistically inclined - because it allows you to add your own decoration around the text.

The Pomegranate Ketubah incorporates several features: a papercut design that was cut and pasted on top of the work to create a sensation of depth, a watercolor wash, and handwritten Hebrew and English texts.

The Chinese Ketubah incorporates elements from the cultures of both partners, including Hebrew, Chinese, and the Chinese symbol for marriage: double happiness.

This variation on the Chinese Ketubah includes the full orthodox text as well as the bride's Chinese name.

_The Hawaii Ketubah (shown here in the process of creation) was based on a photograph taken by the couple during a family vacation in Hawaii.  It was while they were on this trip that the groom proposed to the bride.  The wedding took place at the same location! 

Thus, the idea behind this ketubah - using a picture from your personal album - opens up unlimited possibilities for other designs.  Any photograph of a meaningful  location could be used to create the background for your ketubah.
