Outdoor Wedding and Unity Candles Do Not Mix

The Sand Ceremony is always the better choice for an outdoor wedding.


Ok, I have said this once and I will say it again. Outdoor weddings and unity candles do not mix. Brides will tell me over and over, “no problem, the rental agency (florist, best friend, whoever) told me to just get hurricane globes for the candles and everything will be fine.” No, no, it won’t. The candles are going to either never light or blow out. The tiniest amount of wind will find its way into every outdoor ceremony (even if you are having it in a covered area). The tiny breeze will blow out the taper as the mother tries to light her candle. It will blow out the votive they are trying to light from, or the lighters they are trying to use. When you remove the globes to try and light the center candles it’s going to blow at least one of them out.

Just be prepared, to either ignore the unlit candles and move on, or make the smarter choice and go with the sand ceremony.
