These High on Style Gota Patti Inspiration Can Complete Your Wedding Look

Gota patti, the traditional embroidery of Rajasthan, is one of the most popular and common forms of embellishment that has not only evolved over the years but also has become more popular especially, among brides for its ethnic feel. Right from bridal lehengas, sarees, kurtas and dupattas to Juttis and bridal accessories, gota work and designs have been prevalent since the time immemorial. In fact, in recent times too, many designers including Anita Dongre, Sabyasachi, Abhinav Mishra and Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla are designing outfits and accessories in enchanting patterns with the traditional gota patti work. More than just looking ‘bridal’, the best thing about the gota patti outfits and accessories is that these look rich and heavy but are lightweight and comfortable.

Origin and History

Gota Patti, the art form prevalent since the Mughal era, is found extensively in fabrics and accessories even today. Craftsmen from different parts of Rajasthan, such as Bikaner, Ajmer, Jaipur and Udaipur are skilled in making ethnic motifs from thin gota ribbons in gold and silver. As the authentic gota patti work is usually done using metal, so it is also referred to as metal embroidery. Traditionally, the embroidery was done using real silver and gold; however these days it is done with other non-expensive metals like copper.
