    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.

If you're planning a rustic wedding in the countryside, chances are you want that theme to carry over onto your reception tables. Luckily, interpreting the rustic aesthetic with fresh flowers is as pretty as it gets. Earthy color palettes, wooden accents, and unexpected accents, like fresh fruit and vegetables, all help transform floral table arrangements into rural-inspired pieces of décor that are sure to fit your vision—whether you're getting hitched in an actual barn or celebrating in the heart of a city.

Just take the following rustic wedding centerpieces, for example, which all brought pastoral vibes to their tabletops. While no two arrangements are the same, we did notice some overarching motifs that you might want to pass onto your floral designer as you brainstorm your own tablescape's adornments. First up? Transitional foliage. While the rustic isn't always aligned with the autumnal—a rustic centerpiece can absolutely feature summer blooms!—fall shades, like burnt orange, yellow, and ruby red, play right into the style. That's why multi-hued foliage makes for a pretty add. While keeping it all-green can still read as rustic (take this Bloom Babes and Joy n' Company tablescape, for example!) All you have to do is swap out pine or eucalyptus for colorful branches, instead.

But one of the most interesting on-theme accents has nothing to do with a centerpiece's floral components. Ultimately, the vessel you choose impacts the style of the arrangement just as much as its actual flowers. Ahead, you'll discover how different bases, like wooden urns, vintage enamel water jugs, tiny clear vases, and burnished bronze bowls, can call bring your tabletop displays to new rustic heights. Click through to discover all of these bucolic centerpieces—they just might inspire your own.

Honeysuckle Rose's sprawling centerpieces, crafted from transitional foliage, apples, berries, acorns, and fresh white blooms, introduced this The Heirloom setting's autumnal notes—but it was the pinecone place cards and grapevine chargers that helped it feel bucolic.

Industrial and Rustic

This dynamic scene, featuring fern-centric arrangements by Sarah Winward, infused the rustic (note the wooden table, wild greenery, and chicken-wire votive candle holders) with the industrial, thanks to a metal, exposed-bulb chandelier and matte-black candelabras.

So many parts of this tablescape's unique centerpieces, by Matthew Robbins Design, were inspired by objects you'd see on a farm—like the terracotta planters (filled with greens by Bellafare Floral Design), burnished metal pots, and even the copper table numbers, which looked like they could have once hung in a barn.

Apples, warm-colored flowers, and other accents made these centerpieces seem fall-ready, but you could make the look work for any season by swapping the fruit. The mismatched vessels—cans, vases, and bottles—gave the arrangements a rustic vibe.
