Wedding season has begun!

How do I know wedding season has begun? Because I haven’t had time to blog in weeks and weeks! Thought I’d do a quick update on what’s happening around here.

Tomorrow, I’m off to do a site inspection on Gambier Island.  I hope the weather gods decide to smile on me and give me a little sunshine!  Regardless, though, this is going to be one spectacular, unique, very west-coast wedding.  Can’t wait.

Friday night I’ll be taking in the Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival Tasting.  Mmmmmmm!  But a vendor meeting the next morning with Donna over at Savoury City Catering means that I must be very, very selective… Maybe I should use those spit buckets—I hear that’s what they’re there for!

This weekend marks my first wedding of the 2011 season, and I’m so excited to be working at the gorgeous Roundhouse Community Centre with some really fabulous Vancouver vendors.  Stay tuned for a post all about it!

And that’s the next few days in the life of Revel Events.  It’s a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it.  ;)

Seedlings, Sunshine… Spring’s here!

I woke up this morning to the sun shining through my window, which is my favourite way to start the day.  Then, I came into my living room and spotted my seed babies–and I wanted to share them!  They are:

• Basil (or, as I like to call it, “pesto in waiting”)
• Dill (I add it to every salad, all summer long!)
• Cilantro (fresh salsa!)
• Sage (+ brown butter = divine pasta)
• Lavender (for the fantastic smell and pretty colour)

Last year my balcony garden suffered from a lack of real estate, so I have to restrain myself from planting absolutely EVERYTHING I love this year, and just focus on the stuff I made the most use of last year.  Can’t wait to watch this year’s garden take shape!

My seedlings got me thinking about seedling wedding favours, so I thought I’d give a shout out to Evergreen Memories, a Canadian company that supplies seeds, pine cones, shells, and tree seedlings for wedding favours.  Check them out!
