In my humble opinion, the winter wedding is a hidden gem. While bright spring weddings, sun-drenched summer weddings, and crisp autumn weddings are undeniably delightful, I think that the winter wedding has a deep beauty all its own. Maybe it’s because they are more rare. Whatever the reason, each winter wedding I’ve had the pleasure to attend has been an intimate, cozy, and sparkling affair. And since we got our first real snow of the season this weekend, winter weddings and the winter ketubah have been on my mind.
Now that December, January and February weddings are just around the corner, I’ve put together a small collection of winter ketubahs designed just for these special events. I hope you like them!
Winter Ketubah Collection
I created this abstract winter ketubah design by layering multiple hand-painted textures on top of an antiqued chalkboard background. To me, this design feels like spending an evening snuggling on your sofa and watching the snow fall outside. I’ll be right back – I need to go grab myself a cup of hot cocoa.
This tree of life winter ketubah design is done in crisp whites and rich blues, making it perfect for a brilliant winter wedding. The trunk says “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine” in Hebrew.
This typographic winter ketubah features the phrase, “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine.” The text is hand-lettered and layered over a deep blue watercolor backdrop.
This design is part of my Tree of Life series. I’ve layered a warm hand-painted texture over the silhouette of a tree in winter.

When my husband proposed to me back in 2012, he surprised me with an unusual and beautiful rose gold engagement ring. I’d never really considered this off-the-beaten-path metal, but the moment I laid eyes on that ring, I became obsessed. And I mean obsessed with rose gold. I spent the next year hunting down more rose gold items for my collection – you should have seen the epic meltdown of joy that occurred when I found this bag on sale.
So when a client asked me to make a custom version of my Typographic Ketubah design with hand-painted rose gold details, I just about died of excitement. I wish I had thought of that when I was making my own ketubah. Would it be strange to make myself a second ketubah just so that it could have some rose gold on it? My Rabbi thinks so, but what does she know? 😉
Of course, once I had a rose gold wedding on my mind, I quickly descended into a fit of Pinning all the rose gold goodies that I would clearly need. Rose gold dog-themed thank you cards? Check. Rose gold silverware? Check. Rose gold bridesmaid gifts? Check, check and check. I swear – one day those boots will be mine. All mine.
