I had dreams about dress shopping 3 days in a row last week. I went to 2 boutiques (2 of the only boutiques open during this holiday weekend!), and brought along my mom, 3 aunts, and 2 cousins.
So I'll cut right to the chase and present you with a ton of photos of rejected dresses...
Meh...

Everyone loved this dress, but I insisted it made me look wide in all the wrong places. (The sales lady gave my cousin a tiara, which started a downward spiral into I-can't-wait-to-be-a-flower-girl-dom. It was adorable.)
See?

This was our favorite from the first shop. I was seriously considering it when we left for our second appointment...
The sales lady insisted I try on something that wasn't strapless. My family "Oooed" and "Ahhed", but I wasn't impressed...

This is just bad (you can tell by my face)...

The shape of this one looked really good on me, but it was just a little too average-looking...

This was a finalist (and my older cousin's absolute favorite). It was extremely elegant, and would have flattered anyone, but it was a little too plain...

And lastly, a close contender to the dress...

So did I find the dress? Yes! But more to come on that later...

I enjoyed the day so much.

Now that I see the dress that I really liked in pictures, I agree with you. It's a bit to plain. ~Alaina
I meant too, not to (Alaina again)
I tried on the same Paloma gown and had the same thoughts. Beautiful material, color (champagne), super light, but it didn't wow me. The consensus was that it'd be better for a more mature bride.
