Fantasia III
After missing Fantasia I and II in recent years, due to being on holiday, we were thrilled to finally be able to attend the Fantasia III gala dinner at the stunning Rothschild Estate’s Dairy in Buckinghamshire earlier this month. Led by the incredibly talented floral artist Amie Bone and her team, this evening elevated event design to unprecedented heights, offering a magical experience that felt as though it was blessed by the gods themselves!
Eighteen months in the making, Fantasia III brought together a team of the UK’s top event suppliers, all collaborating to bring Amie’s epic vision to life. A dream team transformed the Rothschild Estate into an out of this world paradise and VIP guests from around the world were invited to a night that no one will ever forget!
Guests were initially welcomed into an underwater world, with magnificent installations including a custom-designed snake, and a centaur; each and every corner was filled with intricate details, such as priceless busts adorned with bespoke shell jewels, interactive mermaids, custom cocktails and designer canapes.
The magical journey then continued as we were guided to the Lake House, where guests were greeted with a whimsical array of hanging books, handcrafted paper flowers, owls, and candlelight - an immersive table plan where we found our place at dinner.
We then walked through a tunnel of Greek-masked philosophers, before being met by Pegasus in all its majesty. A choir sang us into a celestial dining space, where white blooms cascaded around tables and hung from the ceiling of the marquee. We dined on a white-themed menu surrounded by flickering candlelight, sipped Champagne and cocktails all evening and enjoyed an ethereal ambience ending with an unexpected twist!
The night culminated in Hell’s Wrath, an unforgettable after-party featuring awe-inspiring designs such as a bespoke Cerberus DJ booth and the iconic “Bone” tree. Fantasia III was more than an event; it was a breathtaking spectacle of creativity and craftsmanship and I am very lucky to have witnessed it!
Thank you to the amazing team for the kind invitation:
