I get asked all the time why anklets are suddenly such a big deal for brides. Honestly, I think it’s because we’re all looking for those little details that make our wedding day feel like ours. I’m Rachel Thompson, co-founder of Oragift, and I’ve seen firsthand how something as simple as an anklet can totally change the vibe of a bridal look.
I remember chatting with a bride who was super nervous about her shoes showing under her dress. She wanted something pretty but not over-the-top, so we picked out a delicate pearl anklet together. She ended up loving it so much she wore it on her honeymoon, too. That’s the kind of thing that makes me love what I do.
Right now, pearls and rose gold are really popular, but honestly, there’s no rule. Some brides want that “something blue” in a subtle way, so we’ll add a tiny blue crystal or bead. Others are planning beach weddings and go for boho styles with shells or natural stones. I even had one bride who wanted an anklet with her and her partner’s initials—how cute is that?
My advice? Don’t overthink it. If you see something that makes you smile or feels like “you,” go for it. And don’t be afraid to mix things up. I’ve helped brides pair sparkly anklets with simple dresses and vice versa. It’s all about what feels right to you.
Anklets also make really sweet gifts for bridesmaids. We do these little gift boxes that are always a hit—honestly, half the fun is seeing everyone’s reaction when they open them. It’s a small touch, but it means a lot.
Shopping with Oragift is pretty straightforward. We have a bunch of different styles, and I’m always happy to help you pick something out or customize it. We ship to Canada, Europe, the UK, India—pretty much anywhere you need.
So, if you’re thinking about adding an anklet to your wedding day look, my advice is simple: have fun with it! It’s those little details that you’ll remember, and they’re what make your day truly yours.
