    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.

Peach, Green, and Gold Tablescape

There are so many advantages to having a spring wedding: The temperature is neither too hot nor too cold, spring wedding flowers (think blooms like lilacs and tulips) are readily available, and your venue options are pretty much limitless (no weather restrictions!). Spring is also the time of year that symbolizes renewal, which is a perfect metaphor for your big day. While there's lots to look forward to about planning a spring wedding, the process can still be overwhelming, especially when you consider the many seasonal color palettes and floral options you have to choose from. If you're having trouble deciding where to start in terms of decorations, we've put together some of our favorite wedding ideas for spring celebrations.

Ahead, you'll discover how couples paid homage to the season throughout their big days. From table settings that use traditional spring hues (like pastel pink and purple) to floral arrangements made up exclusively of tulips (a signature springtime bloom!), you're bound to find an idea that will inspire you. The best part? The hues and florals that have become so synonymous with this season can be incorporated in both obvious and subtle ways. Take this set up by Bustle Events, for example, which offers a small nod to the season. The pros scattered pink candles of varying heights down the table for dimension and a hint of color.

If you're still on the fence about the perfect time to tie the knot, these ideas might just convince you to book a spring wedding date. Click through for incredible ideas to steal for your own springtime event.
