Artful, Personal Details and Verdant, Sunny Florals in Modern Wedding Day at Chihuly Garden and Glass

Joe Dombrowski and Morgan Nagy met on Tinder in Metro Detroit while pursuing graduate degrees, bonding over a shared love of music, art and social connection—all of which infused every moment of their Seattle wedding weekend. Festivities began with a sunset cocktail cruise on Lake Washington, offering panoramic views and a relaxed vibe. The couple said their vows at the iconic Chihuly Garden and Glass among a verdant garden of flowers. Creamy whites, sunny yellows and earthy rust tones filled the floral palette, with freestanding arrangements framing one of Chihuly’s signature glass sculptures for a ceremony backdrop that was both dramatic and organic. Joe wore Shinola accessories to honor his Detroit roots while Morgan incorporated family heirlooms. Cocktail hour invited guests to explore the gardens while a string quartet played pop anthems from the late ‘90s and early 2000s (think Britney, Cher and Destiny’s Child), blending nostalgia with a joyful nod to Pride. The reception continued the celebration with towering centerpieces featuring North Carolina dogwood blooms to honor Morgan’s Southern heritage, alongside orchids, dahlias and sculptural pods for dynamic texture. From low, airy tablescapes to grand floral moments, every design detail echoed the venue’s beauty and the couple’s story. At the after-party in Queen Anne’s Rich Rich, guests were handed nun habits as the grooms led a surprise performance of Sister Act’s “Hail Holy Queen”—a playful tribute to Morgan’s favorite film. The weekend concluded with a traditional Polish Poprawiny brunch, honoring Joe’s roots and closing out a celebration filled with love, style and unforgettable moments.
