2. The Aquatic Fantasy
Lynn Torgerson
Garden designer
Torgerson imagines a high-ceilinged Grand Hall with a towering water arch (the jets are engineered to not splash the couple as they pass underneath). The water comes from a pair of catch basins on either side of the walkway. The floor is made of a nonskid material with a reflective surface, to create the impression of a calm lake. Attendees sit on either side of the arch and view the couple through the curtain of water. The hall is lined to the ceiling with ferns and plants, and on one wall, a fiber-optic mural can be programmed for day, sunset, or night panoramas.
