My daughter wanted a simple design for her Ketubbah and chose one from Reggio in Shalom Sabar’s “Ketubbah.” The original design covered only the upper left corner, but my daughter wanted more of a canopy-style.

1. Scan of original Ketubbah from Reggio.

2. The decoration mirrored and text (Spanish and Portuguese text) formatted beneath it, including replacing the monogram from the original with one for the couple at the top of the arch.

3. Using a translucent sheet to choose the colors.

4. The final Ketubbah - text: computer-printed; design: hand colored

5. The Rabbis discussing the signing of the Ketubbah
