Hello everyone! My FW and I are having a spacing issue. We are going to have our ceremony in the space pictured below. We each have 6 people in our bridal party, but she would really like to go up to 8 on her side (I'll be staying at 6). I think to setup the way it is pictured wouldn't work for us. I'm thinking of doing away with the columns. I also think we should cheat both sides inward but not right beside us. If they are almost right outside of the officiant's shoulders I think we would get a lot of extra room. Which do you think works best and do you have any other ideas that may work? Thank you so much for your advice!
Option 1: Cheat both sides inward with an arch and have our best man & matron of honor beside us, that gives the overall party more room and removes one person from the group.
Option 2: Do the same as above but bring two people down. I don't like this option because the best man and matron of honor makes logical sense but I don't want to get into picking favorites from there.
Option 3: Same as option 1 but only the bride and groom are up front. This helps with the overall spacing but not as much as option 1 does.
