Apparently I'm on a movie kick, and what romantic adventure could I choose for a wedding board that's sweeter or more magical than "Amelie"? No, seriously. If you can think of one, I want to watch it and obsessively google about it. I think Amelie would swoon over a carnival themed wedding with French garden touches. Although I'm sure she'd love the idea of a ferris wheel and character actors, she's working with a cafe server salary and her fiance works in a porn shop--but that doesn't mean her wedding can't be kick-ass gorgeous. I imagined her wedding at a charming ranch house, decorated with antique, carnival-style parasols hung from the trees, a DIY photo booth, and tea tin centerpieces. Girl loves her cardigans and creme brulee, so I couldn't leave those out. Cute gnome cake toppers and DIY carnival ticket invitations add that sense of fun while luminary bags provide a (cheap!) romantic ambiance as the sun goes down.
