This is a lovely addition to a ceremony, meant to include the family (often the two mothers) as well as the bride and groom.
For outdoor weddings, it's tricky. Suggestions:
1. Use a hurricane glass covering for the large center candle
2. Don't light the tapers until immediately before lighting the larger candle
3. Use tiny votive candles already lit to light the tapers and blow them out after the tapers are lit
4. Blow out the tapers after the center candle is lit.
5. Use tiny box matches and PRACTICE at the rehearsal.
In short, let all candles burn as briefly as possible, even indoors. Whether in or out doors there are breezes, air conditoning, whatever, which will affect the way the candles burn and they can be a big distraction.
