Does a ketubah have to look traditional or old-fashioned?
Not at all! A ketubah can look like anything you like, and can say anything you like. Since your ketubah is a physical symbol of your marriage, like your wedding rings, it should match your own idea of beauty and symbolism. You should therefore find a ketubah that you consider beautiful. Your ketubah is a work of art that will hang in your home for the rest of your life, so you should choose one that reflect their own artistic tastes and styles. My ketubah designs are unique, because all of my designs originated as works of fine art. I create my ketubot by combining my fine art photographs of flowers and leaves with beautifully-typset personalized texts. They are then printed using the same techniques and materials as the photographs I sell to collectors.
