7 Secrets from 7 Years of Marriage

August 15, 2016

custom ketubah a practical wedding

Hi, friends!

It’s been a while since my last post.  But I have a really good excuse this time!  Because in the last couple of months, we packed up and moved from Madison, Wisconsin to a little town outside of Burlington, Vermont.  We’re still in the process of getting settled, so I’ll share more about that soon.  Instead, today I wanted to tell you about a super special project I just finished for a client…

When Meg Keene of A Practical Wedding reached out to me last month to see if I would be interested in creating a custom Ketubah for her 7 year anniversary with her husband David, I blushed and giggled like a school girl.  You see, Meg is my personal wedding idol.  When I was getting married a few years ago, I fell in love with her book, and have been crushing hard on her one-of-a-kind wedding blog ever since.  And yes, I’m 3 years into marriage, and I still read her wedding blog daily.  So, needless to say, I was insanely flattered by the thought of my artwork hanging on her wall.

I had an awesome time working with her on her ketubah design.  It’s a little vignette of her wedding day – their forested venue with their tiny silhouettes under their chuppah at the bottom.  And then she wrote a blog post about us working together!  It’s called “The 7 Secrets I Learned in 7 Years of Marriage,” and it speaks some serious truth about what love, partnership, and marriage look like 7 years in.  I highly recommend that you pop on over there and read it (and then read everything else on that website, because, yeah.)

Sneak Peek at my Most Recent Custom Ketubahs and Wedding Certificates!

July 5, 2016

Hi again!

I’ve been on a roll lately with sharing some of my recent custom ketubahs and wedding certificates.  There was a roundup of recent work that featured the landscapes and natural treasures that make this country so beautiful.  And then I shared the complete opposite –some architectural and urban designs!  Today, I wanted to share 3 pieces that I just recently finished that come from each category.  There’s an architectural design from across the pond, a nature scene, and then an illustration that came straight out of the imaginations of my clients.

St. Paul’s Cathedral and Shakespeare’s Globe Wedding Certificate

St Paul's Cathedral, London ketubah It was such a joy to work with British couple Katrina and James on this custom ketubah of London’s famous St. Paul’s Cathedral.  They are getting married inside Shakespeare’s Globe, so we added a small illustration at the top of their incredibly unique wedding venue.

Deer Valley, Utah Ketubah

Deer Valley, Utah ketubah Abigail and Max are getting married at an iconic lodge in Deer Valley, Utah, and they wanted this stunning backdrop to feature prominently in their ketubah design.  They also chose to include their chuppah, which will be decorated with cascading flowers and greenery.  Done and done!

Vince and Danielle’s Relationship Dreamscape

Story of the relationship ketubah

Now, this is something I’ve never gotten to do before.  Vince and Danielle approached me about designing a custom ketubah that combined 11 different components (can you spot them all?) from the story of how they met, how they got engaged, and where they’ll go from here.  It’s like a treasure map of their relationship. It was a big project, but so much fun to work on.

{Want to work together on a custom ketubah or wedding certificate?  I’m currently on maternity leave, and won’t be taking any custom orders for weddings happening between February – May.  But if you’re getting hitched in June or later, please don’t hesitate to reach out!  Here’s where you can learn more about the process of ordering a custom ketubah or wedding certificate.  Or just send us a quick note to be added to the list of people who will be notified when I’m back from maternity leave!}
