Calligraphy done by hand is a dynamic element all of it's own, especially when it's being created for something as long lasting as a ketubah. We wanted to choose someone who really stood apart from the other hand calligraphers out there and we are glad to say Karen Gorst of The Gorst Studio is without a doubt the best. Her depth of knowledge in paper, ink and traditional art techniques gives her the Best Hand Calligraphy Award and script worthy of your ketubah. Originally posted 2012-08-15...

With gold stamping and custom imagery that shows off a striking emboss, we could not find anyone more deserving of Best Traditional Ketubah Originally posted 2012-08-15...

Paperie is such a unique material used in creating paper-cut ketubot that we wanted to make sure we awarded only the absolute best. All of Love By Leya's ketubot are absolutely beautiful in design, technique and craftsmanship. Her careful selection of color palettes and materials make for gorgeous artwork. However it's the dynamic paperie layers and flawless paper-cut pieces of her Double Wedding Ketubah that gives her The Best Paperie Ketubah Award. Originally posted 2012-10-18...

Every Ketubah means something special. It is, after all, a symbol that represents the love and commitment a couple exhibits for one another. Few ketubot, however, push the boundary of creativity and originality like the Life In Technicolor Ketubah. This Is Not A Ketubah have not only harnessed the essential symbolism of a couple's union, but have also managed to incorporate a completely fresh and different style of ketubot. Life In Technicolor receives the Most Original Ketubah award for giving us a new way to look at a time-honored tradition. Originally posted 2012-08-13...

With all the traditional styles out there today, it's refreshing to see something that isn't your average, everyday ketubah. It's rare to find a company so adventurous to try it's hand at a modern style ketubah, and even more rare to find a company that actually succeeds in doing it. That being said, we are happy to give "Best Modern Ketubah" award to the Bright Kiss Ketubah. This Is Not A Ketubah succeeds with their Romero Britto inspired art piece that combines all the love and joy of a wedding day with a unique and modern feel. Originally posted 2012-08-14...

With all the planning and money that goes into having a wedding, we understand it can be hard to choose a ketubah that has both a long lasting quality style and a reasonable price. Our next award will be a favorite among those who desire a classic style and budget friendly ketubah. The Harvest Ketubah from Laya Crust has high quality without the steep price that goes along with it. For that, The Harvest Ketubah unquestionably wins Best Ketubah Under $50.
