About Us:
Fleur de Lys Floral & Gifts opened in 2001 as a neighborhood gift shop. With the addition of Mrs. Ford-Chatfield in 2003, the shop transitioned and began the climb to recognition as the best floral shop in New Haven for 2006 and 2007. Jennifer purchased the business she helped build and continues to grow and expand it in the New Haven area and surrounding communities. “High quality product, unique and customized designs and a priority of customer service satisfaction is the motto here. We represent human emotion on all levels and are constantly challenging ourselves to meet the demands of our clientele.”
Owner Jennifer Ford-Chatfield grew up with a love of gardening from her Mother.
Her childhood years were spent learning first-hand the behind the scenes challenges of full scale event planning and promotions while shadowing her Aunt who planned hundreds of events for The Metropolitan Area YMCA. Her floral and event planning career began 19 years ago in her home state of Iowa. In 1998, she moved to Nashville, TN where she became one of the premier designers in the area. Specializing in high end and cutting edge design, Jennifer has received multiple awards, had her work published and became the lead designer for many large corporations and celebrities. Among her larger clientele were Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Convention Center, The Grand Ole Opry, RCA Records, Gaylord Entertainment, The Sound Kitchen Recording Studios and Governor Don Sundquist. In January of 2003, Jennifer moved to Connecticut and after freelancing in Manhattan, led Fleur 
de Lys from a gift shop to the premier florist in New Haven. She purchased Fleur de Lys in January 2007 and continues to grow and expand it further. “My Dad is the perfect example of having big dreams and the hard work ethic to make them come true. I cannot wait to see what each new day holds or which new customer we have the chance to service.”
In 2000, Jorge Uribe, moved to the United States from his native country of Colombia. His work and creative experience is well rounded. From beautiful and creative floral design to wonderful painting, photography and graphic design, he is a wonderful additional to the Fleur de Lys team. He has won multiple awards for his designs and is an invaluable member of the staff.
Alexandra Mucha has joined the Fleur de Lys team with excellent customer service skills acquired both in the flower business and in the restaurant industry. She is a welcome addition in our business where customer service is of the utmost importance.
Jennifer was recently nominated as a new Board member to the "Friends of Yale New Haven Children's Hospital." Visit them online at: www.thefriendsonline.org.
