    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    Puppies are irresistible. We fall in love with their big eyes, little button noses, fluffy tails, and clumsy paws. And yet, like any pet, puppies grow up and turn into dogs. Some breeds, like the Old English Sheepdog or Great Dane, will grow to become larger in size than most people. But not all dogs are destined to become giants. There are some breeds that stay small in size even when they're fully grown. You may want a forever puppy if you are used to smaller animals. Maybe you have a small apartment or just want a canine companion that you can easily carry along with you anywhere you go. Small dogs are also great for families with young children or those of senior age who are best matched with a breed they can physically handle. Fortunately, some specialty dog breeds are mixed to look like puppies throughout their entire lives—and they are sure to melt your heart the second you lay your eyes on them.

Get the How-To

Sweet but sophisticated, the color peach is now ripe for the picking. Pair it with classic cream for a combination that's fresh, modern, and gloriously memorable.

Romantic Majolica, garden, and spray roses make contemporary centerpieces when juxtaposed with geometric terra-cotta pots. (MGMY "Geo" planters, sprouthome.com.) Flip the drainage trays over to create risers, and consider painting some sides ivory. On each plate, place a white chocolate-and-strawberry candy bar (a little pink enhances this summery motif), rewrapped in cellophane to let the color peek through to greet guests. (Chocolate Editions by Mary & Matt, chocolate-editions.com.)

A Pastel Posy

Credit: Johnny Miller

Start the day on a soft note by filling your processional with watercolor hues. Wrap your hands around a dreamy bouquet, and have your most precious cargo carried on a pillow made from small slices of subtly tinted fabric. Within this feminine bouquet, Majolica roses and ranunculus provide a creamy base, while phalaenopsis orchids and amaryllis peach things up. Accent it with downy green ferns and a wide ribbon (here, M&J Trimming 1 1/2-inch Chromspun grosgrain, mjtrim.com). We painted this one with bold lines.

Glow to Go

makeup-10-sum11mwd107050a.jpg

Use peachy products to warm up any complexion. Dab blush onto the apples of your cheeks with the tips of your fingers, then swipe on the sheer gloss. Tuck the two in your purse so you'll look photo-ready all night long.

Floaty Frocks

Match this palette's breezy feel with silk and chiffon dresses featuring fluttery petals and swishy layers. Deck out your bridesmaids in an array of succulent peaches, and highlight your maid of honor in a creamy floor-length number. Let your flower girl frolic in a simple sheath. For your gown, layers of tulle provide all the wow factor you need, while graphic beading on the bodice gives it an edge.

Intricate Invites

Welcoming words grace this custom suite, which features a delicate sleeve and coordinating reply and reception cards, with a decorative seal for the envelope. It's inspired by the Art Deco era, when peach was just as popular as it is today.

Ebullient Escort Cards

e-cards-06-sum11mwd107050.jpg

The best part about this display is it doubles as decoration. Once attendees slide off the papers bearing their table numbers, the ribbons remain as cheery party streamers (we used M&J Trimming 1-inch Chromspun ribbon, mjtrim.com). To hang them, loop one end over a dowel suspended from the ceiling; secure with a dot of glue. You can also drape them from tree branches or tack them to a wall. One crafting tip: Be sure the slits in the cards are a smidge wider than the ribbon -- otherwise they won't slip down easily.

Signature Drinks

White Peach Tea This nonalcoholic option blends syrup made from simmered, sliced fruit with chilled white tea. Offer it to guests before an outdoor ceremony to help them cool off. Get the recipe

Peach Rose Bellini In a twist on the Italian version invented at Harry's Bar in Venice, sparkling Cremant d'Alsace rose wine is poured atop pureed white peaches. Serve it during cocktail hour, when sweet drinks go over best. Get the recipe

Peach Gin Fizz Perfect for postceremony sipping, this concoction of peach nectar, gin, lemon juice, and sugar is both tart and irresistibly tempting. Get the recipe

Peaches-and-Cream Martini Thanks to ginger liqueur, heavy cream, and pureed white peaches, this vodka version is more dessertlike than traditional varieties. James Bond wouldn't approve, but guests will -- especially after dinner. Get the recipe

Mini Creamsicles

They say good things come in small packages, and sure enough, these decadent ice pops -- three inches tall, minus the sticks -- are downright delicious, blended from fresh peaches and heavy cream. Hand them out after you exchange vows, or pass them around late-night once the dancing heats up. One warning: We bet you can't eat just one.
