A solution: Fill the bottom of the planter with inorganic material that will take up space (eg empty water or pop bottles, with the lids on), and then just fill the top with soil.
Layering: Add depth and dimension to your arrangement by strategically placing taller large pots of tall plants at the back or center, medium-sized plants in the middle, and trailing or low-growing plants in small containers towards the front or edges.
Ideally, you would fill the entire pot with a soil that holds no or nearly no excess (perched) water. If you can't do that, then ballast and/or wicks are the best bet.
