Summer weddings are no longer confined to grand halls or rigid traditions. Today’s bride desires authenticity, movement, and magic—especially as the sun sets and the golden hour bathes her in light. Enter Arpita Dongre’s latest masterpiece: the Viana Collection—a radiant homage to tradition reimagined for the modern muse.
A Breath of Summer, A Whirl of Celebration
Viana, meaning “alive” or “graceful,” is more than a name—it's a feeling. Inspired by the fluidity of summer evenings and the poetry of love in motion, this collection captures the spirit of 20 intimate summer weddings, each with its own rhythm, backdrop, and beauty.
From sun-drenched beach mandaps to heritage lawns lit by fairy lights, Viana evokes the mood of celebration—not with excess, but with emotion.
Tradition, Touched by Modern Grace
In Viana, Arpita Dongre masterfully blends heritage craftsmanship with contemporary silhouettes. Think:
Classic handwoven zardozi paired with soft pastel organza drapes
Mirrorwork reinvented with subtle placements and geometric layering
Blouses with fluid cuts, capes replacing dupattas, and lehengas that whisper rather than shout
Every piece tells a story—not just of tradition, but of transition. It’s bridalwear that honors where we come from while embracing where we’re headed.
For the Sunset Bride
The Viana bride is not defined by opulence, but by ease. She laughs freely, dances barefoot, and wears her outfit—not the other way around. This collection is crafted for ceremonies that begin as golden hour melts into dusk—and for brides who see their wedding not just as a moment, but as a mood.
Palettes include:
Saffron blush and moonstone white for beach vows
Jade green and mauve rose for garden soirées
Antique golds laced with peach tones for twilight pheras
The pieces are intentionally light, breathable, and movement-friendly—made to feel as effortless as they look ethereal.
Sustainable Luxury, Personal Touch
What makes Viana truly stand out is its commitment to mindful craftsmanship. Each garment is hand-finished by artisans, with customizable elements designed for multi-use beyond the wedding day. Think detachable elements, repeat-friendly blouses, and styling suggestions built into every client consult.
In an age where fast fashion has overrun bridalwear, Viana feels like a pause—a breath—a promise.

Summary
Arpita Dongre’s Viana Collection isn’t just for weddings—it’s for memories.It’s for brides who want more than trends. For celebrations lit not just by chandeliers, but by emotion. For those who find power in softness, and elegance in restraint.
If your summer celebration calls for grace, movement, and just a little bit of magic—Viana is your moment.
