Brides getting married outside - Unity Candle?

Any brides getting married outside AND doing the unity candle ceremony? What are you using to make sure the wind doesn't blow out the candles? I can't find a hurricane lamp I love. Anyone have ideas?

We're doing the unity candle, I'm not really concerned about the wind in June. I figure if its windy and the flame blows out, oh well life goes on. I know the true flame, within us, will still be burning!

we're doing a sand ceremony too.

the sand ceremony is when you have two vases filled with sand and you each have a color. (like the bride gets white, and groom black) you each pour the two colors into an empty vase and it makes a pretty design and there is a poem that's read during the ceremony....if you do a search for sand ceremony you'll find out all about it in BHB

thank you so much My FH has 3 children and I have 1, (they're all going to be a part of the bridal party) so we are looking for something to unite the family as well. . . thinking maybe that could work as well as the unity candle for our situation. . . interesting. . . thanks!

Although a bit cheesey, Cin - I agree. I actually didn't even think about the wind, but I'm sure it'll be fine!
