Lila Shel Shoshanim Original Ketubah by Mickie

Lila Shel Shoshanim Original Ketubah is a hand painted original in watercolor / gouache that I created in 2010. I was inspired by the Hebrew song ‘Evening of Roses’ The music is by Yosef Hadar and the lyrics are by Moshe Dor. It is a poetic Hebrew love song. Its melody is often used as music in Jewish weddings. It is well known not only within Israeli and Jewish music circles, but known throughout the Middle East. I tried to make a ketubah as beautiful, soft and fragrant as that song. The price includes your own text that I will calligraph into the design by hand.

Mickie Caspi’s Original Ketubot are one of a kind, hand drawn and painted watercolor illuminations on heavy Strathmore paper. Her Original Watercolor Art has vibrant colors and tones that are stunning and brilliant. Now you can purchase one of Mickie’s Original Creations for your wedding. You will be able to enjoy the Original Art for the rest of your life together.

The price includes your own text calligraphed by Mickie by hand. At the center of the design, your text will include all of your pertinent information. We can help you with spelling, dates and other information (Mickie speaks and writes both English and Hebrew). She has been crafting ketubot for brides and grooms as a full time job for over 34 years. Mickie has a lot of experience with all kinds of requests.

If you like this design, but would like it to be a little different – colors, shape, take out something, put in something, even paper cut, or just exactly the same, but newer and made just for you, or if you have any questions at all, don’t be shy! Just call (1-800-KETUBOT) or email! That’s what we are here for.

One lovely aspect of a Jewish wedding is choosing your first work of art together as a couple. You can jointly decide on an appropriate text that reflects your ideals and beliefs. An original ketubah is more expensive than an offset lithograph or giclee print. This is because an original ketubah takes more time and Mickie’s undivided attention to your personal requests. It will become a treasured piece of art that will grace your home and become a family heirloom.

TIMING

The best time to order your Lila Shel Shoshanim Original Ketubah is at least four months before your wedding. We understand that the best laid plans sometimes go awry and very often Mickie will end up doing a rush original ketubah – some as late as a month before the wedding. It’s usually not too late to receive a hand painted personalized ketubah, but Mickie is not a machine. She is sometimes out of town or sick. Please CALL (1-800-KETUBOT) or email if your wedding date is a month or less away to make sure that she can complete your ketubah for you! When ordering, please tell us your wedding date.
