Sarah Pabody, of Triple Wren Farms, lives and breathes Dahlia at the farm she operates with her husband, Steve Pabody, in the northwest corner of Washington State. As a farmer-florist, she also runs Triple Wren Weddings, a wedding and event design studio. After seeing how popular the farm’s Dahlia fields were with local photographers and their portrait clients, Sarah fantasized about what it would look like if the people having their photos taken wore Dahlia rather than only standing among the flowers. Her idea took hold, and now Sarah teaches Dahlia Dress Master Classes for designers and floral enthusiasts who want to create, wear and be photographed in Dahlia couture (details at triplewrenfarms.com). Beyond fantasy, the garments are thoroughly alluring but also accessible, prompting others to imagine themselves wearing Dahlia dresses of their own.
