Kip's Flowers for Diana [Hardcover]

Kip Dodds (Author), Andy Earl (Photographer)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1999

Kip Dodds runs Kip's Flowers, a village-like shop near Kensington Palace. One day Diana's butler, Paul Burrell, dropped by and asked him to produce a sample arrangement for his boss. Disbelieving, Kip produced a simple, naturalistic arrangement - the Princess loved it so much that he became for the next three years not only the person who supplied flowers for her private apartments, entertaining and gifts, but also a close personal friend. This book is the story of that friendship through the arrangements Kip created for Diana, and relfects her great love of nature and its beauty, and taste for disarming artisty.

This review is from: Kip's Flowers for Diana (Hardcover)

Paul Burrell wrote the forward, mostly about how she liked Kip's flowers. Mr. Dodds writes brief sections about his own background or something about how he met the Princess and the floral work he did for her. You will also find short(helpful only to those who already know what they're doing) bits about doing arrangements for yourself, the beautifully done pictures tend to reflect this as you will find only one of Diana on the last page.
