If you haven't, you really must. Here are one of my favorite scenes.
I love it so much that I decided to plan a girl's get-together with Amelie as the theme. My friend Ashley kindly let us use her lovely studio - Recollection Vintage - thanks, Ashley!
If you haven't seen the movie, a lot of these decorations might not make any sense to you - but I do highly recommend you see it. It's such a beautiful movie!
Amelie is a French waitress who appreciates the simple things in life. The movie involves remembering your childhood, love, travel and adventure.
I watched a documentary about the making of the film, and the director said that he intentionally used lots of red and green in the film - he wanted it to be saturated with color. So there are lots of scenes in it that are all red or green, and then with pops of blue or yellow. So for this party, I included red tulips and dahlias, green kale, some lotus pods for a touch of brown, and then included some yellow tulips, and some touches of blue and pink.
It was a fun afternoon with some of my favorite people.
Now go watch Amelie if you haven't seen it! :)

If we have seen it...a nice time to watch it again.
Oh my goodness I LOVE Amelie! This party is a fantastic idea!! Such wonderful details!
It's my favourite movie too! How gorgeous all your decorations are!! So perfect!
My favourite thing about the film is how intricate each character is. The details about what each & every character like & dislike. The simple things. Jean-Pierre Jeunet is wonderful at capturing the quirkiness of characters.

Hi Dionne,
How fun it be invited to such a wonderful party. You are a charming hostess. I can't believe I still have not seen this movie. My daughters love it.
I have had a busy month with no blog reading. I have missed you.
Fondly,
Glenda
One of the best movies. Ever. It's so hard to choose a favourite scene, but I love their creative communication: the photo album, the fliers plastered all over the metro that say 'Where and When?' I haven't seen this in a while. Clearly, I need to rewatch it.
what a sweet and perfect party, dionne. this reminds me i need to watch amelie again. the best!
have a great weekend!
