Rajasthani Wedding Guest Outfit Guide: Gota, Bandhani and Bold Colour

SWIPE →

Quick answer

A Rajasthani wedding guest outfit guide from Jaipur: how to wear gota, bandhani and bright colours for each Marwari wedding function.

Writing from Jaipur, where these weddings happen

Our workshop is in Jaipur, so Rajasthani weddings are something we see every season, from the haveli courtyards to the marriage gardens on the city's edge.

The three Rajasthani details worth wearing

Gota patti. Gota is a ribbon of gold or silver metallic lace, cut into shapes and hand-stitched onto fabric.

Colours: go bright and go bold

Rajasthan is a desert state, and its clothing answers the sand with colour. Pale beige and greige rarely appear at a wedding here.

Dressing for ghoomar and the late-night pheras

Ghoomar is the swirling women's dance you will see at the mehndi and sangeet. If someone pulls you into the circle, a wide Anarkali flare is what makes the spin look magical.
