    Hi Again Bees,

     

    In the interest of staying on budget, I completely cut out my ceremony florals. However, I now don't like my original ceremony space under a pergola because there are no florals near the pergola area. I was thinking of using the fountain area instead. However, this creates the problem of a weird entrance into the ceremony space since there is no door with a direct path to the fountain. Should I add some ceremony flowers back in and have the focal point be the pergola or should I skip the florals and have it in front of the fountain? Here is a picture with both the fountain and the pergola. My colors are pink, purple, and platinum.  Please feel free to explain your answers from the poll above. Thanks again guys :)

    i think the lighting around that fountain would make it be a beautiful spot for your ceremony, no extras needed.  Now days it isnt that common to have a straight shot from the doors to the altar anyway, right?

    @MrsNerdy:  Very good point, thanks!

    To the bees that said use the pergola, do you have any suggestions for flowers?

    Are there two more trees we can't see in this picture? You may need to consider whether or not your guests can see you around those trees. In this picture it looks like the branches start high enough that when seated they could, but it's something to think about. Maybe you can stand in front of the fountain with the pergola to your left and walk up from kind of where this picture was taken. Honestly, there isn't that much information here on the layout and where the doors are.

    @Zusie:  There are two more trees placed directly opposite of the fountain in the same  location but that is something to think about. I honestly don't know much about the layout since I am long distance, however I know there are doors all around the courtyard.
