    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.

One of the main objectives of your wedding day is to make a lasting impression on your guests. Favors are a great way to do just that, but the way these keepsakes are displayed is often overlooked. If you've mapped out other big-day stations—like escort card set-ups and dessert tables—you already know that how you display certain elements is often as important as what you're presenting. At the very least, a curated favor table shows your attendees that you've thought of every last detail.

That's where the following creative and unique wedding favor displays come in. From vintage carts to repurposed ladders, there are so many different ways to present your thoughtful gifts to your guests. Best of all? These displays can be suited to any event's style. Take this white cart that Darling Found filled with macarons and Bloom + Blueprint Event Co. floral arrangements, for example. While it fit right in at the couple's Palm Springs destination wedding, it would work for just about any black-and-white-themed contemporary event.

No matter the style or season, there is certainly a favor display here that'll resonate with you. Planning a warm-weather event? A summer wedding calls for a ladder packed with seed packets for your guests to take home. If you're preparing for a winter wedding, we love an all-white indoor display topped with greenery for a pop of color. Whatever your event style, these presentations will surely please your guests. Ready to see how you can integrate one of these creative displays into your own big day? Click through to discover some of our favorite favor stations from real weddings. Since they're both easy to create and easy on the eyes, you'll definitely find one to copy.
