    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.

Mother-of-the-Bride Dresses That Wowed at Weddings

When it comes to dressing for a spring or summer wedding, there are few prints better than floral ones. They're pretty, they're on theme, and they add color and interest to even the simplest of silhouettes. But floral prints have become so popular—and, in turn, have become so varied—that you can even find one that works for a fall or winter wedding, too. Dark florals in heavy fabrics can be worn during the cold weather months, while light, pastel florals in chiffon and similar breezy fabrics tend to work best during the spring and summer. If you're the mother of the bride or groom, you should certainly considering wearing a floral dress to the big day.

In addition to being beautiful, flattering, and downright fun, a floral dress is the perfect way to ensure that your look coordinates with the wedding party and the day's overall color palette. If you're typically not someone who wears prints, look for a floral pattern that's subtle and small. You won't feel like you're wearing a statement dress, but rather just adding an interesting detail to your mother-of-the-bride or -groom dress. Another plus: When you're wearing florals, you don't really need to add other jewelry or accessories as the the gorgeous fabric and print can generally speak for itself.

If you're thinking about wearing a floral print to your son or daughter's wedding, this gallery is for you. We rounded up our favorite floral mother-of-the-bride and-groom dresses that you'll love to wear. Click through here to see the bloom-filled patterns we can't get enough of right now.
