2026 couples are loving organic, timeless designs inspired by florals, gardens, and trees. A nature-inspired ketubah is the perfect choice for an outdoor wedding, and it’s also a wonderful way to bring nature in if you’re opting to wed indoors.

Flowers, trees, and vines also function as symbols for growth, resilience, and interconnectedness, so they just make sense on a document that marks the day the two of you become one. And of course the symbolism of the Tree of Life is so rich with meaning.

3. Jewish Symbolism
Love Papercut Luxe Ketubah – Double Chai Collection by Enya Keshet
In light of the past few years, it’s hardly a surprise that ketubahs rooted in Jewish symbolism are going strong in 2026. So many couples are seeking designs that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also reflect their heritage, values, and spirituality.
Jewish symbolic motifs offer a rich visual language that can be tailored to each couple’s story. Magen Davids and hamsas are perennial favorites. The Tree of Life evokes growth, strength, and interconnectedness, its roots and branches mirroring the way marriage brings two lives together while grounding them in community and continuity. Olive branches are a universal emblem of peace, while pomegranates symbolize abundance and mitzvot (their many seeds echo the Torah’s 613 commandments).
Star Of David – Ani L’Dodi By Susan Cone Porge
Jerusalem imagery is another popular choice, replete with the symbolism of heritage, grounding, and spiritual home. It’s also a wonderful way for couples to incorporate their connection to Israel.
