While perusing one of my fave resources for brides-to-be, Paklinks Wedding Forum, I came across a very pretty idea, which apparently a lot of girls wear on the mehndi in Pakistan. I didn’t know about it, since most girls I know do the fresh flower thing. Nonetheless, I loved it, because I love anything to do with embroidery, lace, ribbon, fabric and all that jazz. For those who are wondering, Gota is that gold ribbon applique you see on the edge of old suits that our grandmas used to wear. It tends to be folded over itself and restitched into a triangle then folded back and stitched and so forth until it creates a pattern of interlaced triangles. I came across this picture of a tikka, earrings, and matching dupatta, and I fell in love.  Check out the thread on the forum for more details.
