In Talmudic times, it was customary to plant a cypress tree at the birth of a girl, representing beauty, grace and fragrance, and to plant a cedar tree at the birth of a boy, representing majesty, strength and uprightness. Later, branches from these trees were used to make the chuppah for their wedding ceremony. In this ketubah design, Vetta has painted a cypress and a cedar as a frame for the ketubah text, and as a symbol of the chuppah.
