Cole; You're going to want what are called "windboards" for your porch. its a series of heavily treated slats you can put up to break up the wind of storms. You only need two runs of them for the windward side of the house. Basically you hang em up for storm and winter weather. The mounting hooks for them need to be worked into the posts of the porch with sealant before you do the painting on the posts. These will let you put up tarps and other hangings and I'm sure Nave would love having herbs and stuff along the porch on the day and afternoon sun-sides. On their own they produce a buffeting turbulence that reduces the direct pressure force of winds and act like trees would for breaking up the storm force. (I know you're committed to the big yard look so tree's are out.) Largely it's a good idea to install hardware even if you're not going to actually use the boards so that you're not penetrating the posts later with screws and nails to hang anything.

Look into running some LED rope lights hidden above a ledge around the perimeter. This way you have hidden indirect light that illuminates the porch with a soft glow. It will look great and not be overpowering. You can use can lights for a direct light source on another switch.
