    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 things we love most about wedding dresses—other than how beautiful and well-crafted they are—is how they showcase a bride's specific personality. For some women, classic, all-white garments fit both their big-day visions and their personal sense of style. Other women, however, don't connect with the idea of wearing a white gown, which is why more brides are walking down the aisle wearing something with a bit more color.

Intrigued by the idea of wearing a colorful gown on your own wedding day? We understand why, especially since there are so many ways to make this trend your own. Ahead are our all-time favorite colorful wedding dresses, worn by real brides who wanted to don unexpected looks for their big days.

Traditional Hanbok

This bride sported a traditional South Korean garment called a hanbok for her wedding,  and the colorful look absolutely wowed. "The first layer acts as a slip; it's called a skirt," she shared. "The second layer is the red dress or chima, the hanbok skirt. Next, the sokchima, a corset-like layer with hanbok jacket, or jeogori, is put on, followed by the wonsamor hwalot, the ceremonial jacket."
