Hi,
My FI and I were thinking of having Unity candles as part of the ceremony. The only problem is that we are having an garden ceremony in the open, no gazebo or tents or anything (in Barbados). I'm thinking that the Unity candles might blow out, especially since the islands tends to be fairly breezy. Has anyone ever done/seen Unity candles at an outside wedding? Did it work?
I also heard of an alternative called the Unity sand ceremony, where two different colours/types of sand is poured into vases, to symbolize oneness. You can then keep the jar with the blended sand as a decorative item for your home. That might be a good idea too.
Can Unity Candles be done at the reception instead of the ceremony?
