h2. About Chrysalis Design Services, LLC     

Our firm, founded by Tucker Sweitzer, is a commercial floral design business with special emphasis on service.  Based in New Haven, Connecticut our services are available statewide, as well as in Westchester County and New York City. By special arrangement our design teams are deployed across the country and around the world.  

In the Corporate setting, where our services enhance lobbies, executive offices and dining rooms, fresh floral arrangements are dispatched on a weekly basis.  Our weekly installation contracts include weekly maintenance services to change or \"top off\" water in vases, remove \"tired\" flowers and/or freshen arrangements as needed during the course of the week. In secondary contact areas seasonal silk rotation programs are developed and maintained to enhance the company\'s interior environment and corporate image. Beyond the weekly contract, floral needs for meetings, conferences and special events are expedited by our professional team of designers. And of course,  we regard individual executive and administrative assistant floral design requests as part of the big picture of our relationship with our corporate clients.

In the Retirement Community setting weekly contract installation and maintenance of fresh floral installations in lobbies, dining rooms, reception, information desks and nurse\'s stations are just the beginning.  Management requests for our services for employee recognition programs, meetings and special events are all part of our Full Service Program.  Materials that we supply for Flower Arranging Classes that recreation departments include in their programing, as well as periodic floral design demonstrations and lectures add yet another invaluable dimension to the everyday lives of the residents.  The independent living residents\' desire for fresh cut flowers in their apartments is graciously fulfilled as an extension of our contract services. Moreover, spring window box design, planting and installation as well as holiday decorating services enhance the quality of residential life in these communities.  Our staff is friendly, talented, engaging. Our work is imminently accessible and always inspiring.

Custom floral design for special events is our specialty.  Museums, corporate and non-profit organizations\' events as well as weddings and special occasion celebrations are expertly handled from vision and concept development to design and execution.  Our staff has an extraordinary ability to pull together a myriad of resources to create the most memorable events for our clients.
