Any suggestions for where to find a beautiful Ketubah? I haven't been thrilled with what I've seen out there so far.

    I'm no help for your area, but I know that the Bay Area Jewish weekly newsletter (simply called "J") has a list of resources like this on its website. Maybe the DC area has a similar resource?
    Also your local synagogue, whether you are a member or not, can probably point you towards something.

    I would strongly suggest looking at actual ketubot, rather than just pictures of them on the Internet.  The colors and details just aren't as visible on the Internet.

    We went to:

    Israeli Accents
    4838 Boiling Brok Pkwy
    Rockville, MD 20852

    The ketubah we ended up with was the Embrace ketubah from 20th Century Illuminations.

    I don't know if prices are higher or lower, but, you can also order directly from <a href="http://www.caspicards.com/">www.caspicards.com</a>.  That's what we did (Blue Scroll).

    Ah!  We never looked elsewhere because my cousin was an authorized dealer and got it for us at cost!

    I got mind from Ketubah.com.  I loved it because it was simple and figured the colour scheme would match any decor. I was extremely happy with the quality considering I purchased it online. I know this company now sells samples if you buy from their Signature Collection.  The amount you pay for the sample is deducted from your total if you purchase a ketubah from them.  Great customer service!

    we fell in love with an artist on Etsy that does custom papercut ketubas for the same price as the printed ones.
