Pergola or?

I'm in the thought process of what to put in the front walkway of my home. Currently we're digging up a little dry river creek that will run along side the sidewalk infront of the patio and will run off to the right side of the house for the overflooding during rain. The front just looks really plain and I was thinking of putting in a little bit of a cottage garden mixed with japanese garden feel, I love both and just can't pick between! Some plants that I really want are a bit picky and CAN grow in Central Florida but require more shade.

So my idea was to build/buy a pergola that would run parallel to the front walkway just as wide as the patio. I really want to grow a nice wisteria vine so figured it'd be a good to way include it in my yard, but I don't want the pergola attached to the house because of how invasive I've heard they could be. Will it look funny having posts that way, with its only purpose covering the garden? Or does anyone have other ideas that might work?
