Hand Painted Ketubah With The Delicate Brush

Having had a Jewish wedding myself, I can confidently say there are many traditions to keep in mind. One in particular (& a big one, might I add) is having a Ketubah.

What is a Ketubah? A Ketubah is a Jewish marriage contract integral to a traditional Jewish wedding.

I had no idea what to expect when getting married in Israel and thus, got the Ketubah from the Tzohar that I liked but didn’t love. You can read all about my experience having a wedding in Israel here.

My husband and I decided last minute that we wanted something beautiful, like, work-of-art beautiful, to hang in our bedroom. A quick search on google led me to The Delicate Brush. I was in absolute awe, scrolling through the beautiful Ketubah designs.

After some time browsing, my husband and I finally decided on a Ketubah for our wedding. We went with the “Starburst” design that you can see here.

Rachelle, the creator of The Delicate Brush, is incredibly talented, kind, and so easy to work with. I asked if she would come on the blog to share about the process of creating a Ketubah and how you can get one too.

Without further ado, please meet Rachelle.

How did you get started in Ketubahs?
I was working for a PR firm in Tel Aviv, and a friend and colleague was planning her wedding. She knew I dabbled with painting on the side so she asked if I would like to paint her ketubah! It opened up a new world for me, seeing that I could have my own creative business. I quit my job a few months later and pursued the ketubah business full time.
What is your creative process like?
When it comes to custom work, I ask the couples a lot of questions first about elements they’d like to include as well as formats they like (circular, square etc.) I then start to create an image in my mind of how the design could look, and I create a sketch based on that! I like the ketubahs to be well balanced with the different elements and colours, for something that will be timeless and meaningful for the couple forever.
What advice do you have for couples choosing a ketubah?
I think there are two main things to consider when choosing your ketubah. The first – where is it going in your home? At the end of the day, this is also a piece of art, so you need to look at it in your home on a daily basis! The placement in your home helps you think about ketubah size, colour scheme, and design. The second – what means something to us both? It could simply be that a design jumps out at you as beautiful, or it could be something with a deeper meaning. Considering these two thought processes will help you pick your special piece!
How soon in advance should you order a Ketubah?
I like as much time as a couple can give, so most couples order from 2-6 months before their wedding (prints and paintings included). On my website, I have more details about timeframes as they differ depending on the type of artwork (for example, custom ketubahs take longer and I require a minimum of 10 weeks prior to the wedding).
Where can people find you and the best way for them to order their Ketubah?
The best way to find me is on my website or on Instagram! My website has tons of helpful information on how to order, and my Instagram shows the real behind-the-scenes of the workings of my studio.
