Order dress now or later?

I think this is heavily dependent upon what type of person you are. Are you the type of person who is confident in their decision and won’t second-guess themselves? Or do you know that over the next two years you won’t be able to resist looking at dresses online? I would say if you are 100% confident that you have found the dress you want to be married in, and that you will not continue to look at other options after purchasing it, then there’s nothing wrong with getting your dress early (assuming you don’t plan to gain or lose a ton of weight between now and then!). But, if you think you will be tempted to continue to look and possibly experience dress regret, then you may want to wait until about a year out.

Do you think it’s also a good deal now? Like what’re the chances of it going on sale or there being a further discount on it

I agree with both of the previous comments. The only comment I have to add is, how strongly do you feel about that specific dress? If you wait to buy it and came back a year from now ready to buy it, and that dress was unavailable, would you be heartbroken? Or would you be bummed, but ready to find a different dress? If you'd be heartbroken and don't want a different dress, I'd recommend buying it now. Otherwise, I'd wait until a year out.

I think I would have two concerns with buying a dress too soon. The first one being if you will regret the decision and end up wanting a different dress. The second would be if your weight changes at all. If you were to gain or lose weight, the dress might not fit anymore. Like the other poster mentioned, will you be devastated if the dress is no longer available? Dresses become discounted all of the time so it might not be available when you go back.

I bought my dress around a year and a half before our wedding, and I still love it, but I have wished I hadn’t bought it so soon. It was during a sample sale and was discontinued, so it was either buy it then or hope I found something I loved as much or more (and could afford) later. Every time over the last several months that I’ve wished I shopped longer, I’ve pulled it out and looked at it or put it on again and been completely reassured I made the right choice. I’ve seen a few other dresses that I liked, things that popped up on Pinterest or pictures brides share here, but I think the thing I really miss most was the fun of shopping and trying on all the beautiful dresses.
Only you know yourself well enough to know if you will keep looking and regret buying this dress or not.

Unless you're positive that you found a dress you want and it's for a super great deal, I'd wait! You never know if your mind may change, or if a new/better dress will be available.

It depends...are you apt to change your mind later and want another dress or are you more likely to regret not getting this dress if/when it becomes unavailable?
