Anita Dongre’s brand of wedding couture frequently attracts connections to the designer’s past. Having spent various summers in Jaipur, she looks back at her memories of India’s Pink City for her most recent couture collection ‘Jaipur Love’. “The collection acquires from Jaipur’s exquisite architecture, with its unique mix of Rajputana and Mughal themes, including geometric shapes and floral patterns. These impacts also translate to the shading palette, which features the delightful Jaipur pink, violet and berry sorbet,” clarifies Dongre.

Supporting the present wedding trend of picking coordinated outfits for families, Dongre has even included occasion wear for children. “We have synchronized outfits for the bride and groom, since twinning looks add a level of ensemble to weddings and are best attempted with coordinated colors and matching motifs, the couturier says. Talking about the fabrics, Dongre has used velvet, Benarasi silk and Abudai silk that lend an opulent touch to a wedding ensemble.

Traditional Benarasi silk sarees and embroidered velvet lehengas are classic additions to any trousseau,” says Dongre. Brides and grooms can also choose from a range of tunics, saris, lehengas, bandis and coats for formal occasions. She is known for supporting heritage artworks, and this collection includes gota patti, bandhani and embroidery that includes zari, zardozi, and katdanna work. When asked about her favorite wedding look from the collection, Dongre chooses a non-traditional color—a vivid violet.

“My preferred outfit must be the Aadah lehenga; it’s made with silk, and highlights floral themes and exquisite embroidery, including gota patti, pearl and zardozi work. Also, it comes in a violet color that I’m very amped up for. “Ultimately, each outfit has been carefully handcrafted, with one lehenga taking between 760 to 1,200 hours to make. “For a lightly embroidered lehenga, a team of eight to ten experts worked for adorning the garment for about two months, for an average of eight hours every day.

For the more luxurious lehengas, the time taken is almost the double,” reveals Dongre. No wonder it’s called a labour of love.
