We’re always keeping our eyes out for exciting new trends in ketubah art, as well as important developments in business and culture. We are noticing some interesting trends for 2020, so let’s take a look ahead to the styles, colors, and trends to expect this year!
Sustainability
News from around the world has woken many to the fact that we all have to do our part for the earth, and Ketubah.com is no exception! In the past year we switched our office to Bullfrog power to lower our carbon footprint and ensure we’re using primarily renewable energy. As our work includes lots of paper, it’s a no-brainer to recycle as much of it as possible!
For eco-conscious couples looking to lower the impact of their ketubah, Japanese Washi paper is a great option. Washi paper is made with fibres from Kozo mulberry bushes so it doesn’t contribute to deforestation or unsustainable practices. We offer many designs with Washi paper, but one of our favourites is Katagami Washi Paper by Emma Gentles.
Crystals
Crystals are very popular as both a visually-appealing element, and also due to a belief that they can affect the energy in your life. Either way, crystals make for inspired and gorgeous ketubah choices, and their geometric beauty is evident in such pieces as Mineral and Sapphire Rose.
3D Embroidery
Artist Britt Yudell is a forerunner of this style, and we worked closely with her to be able to provide print ketubahs that provide all the detail—down to each stitch—of embroidery in a print version. Britt’s unique Spring Bloom ketubah is a great example of the subtle detail possible through embroidery.
Bold Colors
Harper’s Bazaar has predicted that using bold colors will be key in 2020, as they are eye-catching, inviting, and intriguing. Choosing a bold and bright hue makes for an attractive ketubah, as demonstrated by Circle Dance and Starburst.
Pastel Hues
If bold hues are just a bit too much, or you’re planning to blend your ketubah into your home decor, pastels are always an excellent and visually attractive choice. From Neo Mint to Millennial Pink, expect to see more pastel options this year. Options like the Luna Love Papercut, Eternity Caledon, or Full Moon Papercut provide sharp design with subtle and pleasing colors.
The Year Ahead
We feel 2020 is going to be an interesting year for developments in ketubah art. As always, we’re dedicated to offering as much of it to you as we possibly can. Advances in sustainability ensure that we can all do our part for the earth, and emerging trends in visual styles mean more options than ever!
We’re excited to see how 2020 can exceed our expectations! Our selections continue to grow each year, as do our relationships with the best ketubah artists around the world, so we’re looking forward to offering you the most beautiful, exciting, and cherishable ketubahs in 2020.
