To fit the scale of the airy space, Volanni provided tall floral arrangements, which ranged in size from four to six feet and included dogwoods and orchids in metal frames and square, flat vases. For the dog-themed decor, a green AstroTurf carpet and red plastic fire hydrants lined the venue's entrance, while the runway featured two life-size topiary sculptures in the shape of Labradors.

The V.I.P. section, with tables clad in white, gold, and black with white tulips, took over a side space and offered free makeovers from Chanel.

To make sure guests never had to wait long for a drink, sponsor K Street Lounge placed six bars throughout the venue, with cocktails served in blue plastic souvenir cups. Another sponsor, Teatro Goldoni, provided vegetarian hors d'oeuvres such as sliced portobello mushrooms and cheese ravioli bites. Guests also brought home gifts bags for their pups, including a Barkley Square coupon for a dog treat.   —Adele Chapin
