To pull off a formal garden fete, Maddy Zollo and Nate Rusbosin transformed Maddy’s family's summer home on Martha’s Vineyard using lush, dramatic florals and preppy tartan accents. Hanging greenery, luxe gold candelabras and vintage-inspired lace linens turned the seaside private residence into a glamorous reception. The couple personalized the waterfront venue’s floating dock with the help of classic beach chairs and their wedding hashtag, #MaddAboutNate. When it came to decor, Maddy and Nate focused on flowers. “There were white flowers, candles and greenery everywhere, so you felt like you were dining in an elegant garden setting rather than a backyard,” Maddy says. After dinner, the reception tent curtains revealed decadent dessert stations and a black-and-white dance floor.
