Easter week moves fast. Between coordinating family gatherings, planning church services, and managing everything else on your list, you don’t have time to drive around Manhattan hoping someone has fresh lilies left.
Same-day delivery means you can order Friday morning and have arrangements on your table by afternoon. That’s what matters when your mother-in-law is coming for brunch or your church needs altar arrangements by Saturday evening. You’re not gambling on shipping delays or hoping flowers survive a cross-country trip in a box.
The difference shows up in how long everything lasts. Flowers that arrive fresh from our Midtown shop—hand-selected that morning—give you a full week of color instead of wilting by Monday. That’s the gap between arrangements that make your table look thoughtful and ones that look like an afterthought.
We’ve been operating in Manhattan for multiple generations. We’re at 3 West 51st Street, which puts us close enough to serve Fort George quickly while staying connected to the best flower suppliers in the city.
Fort George has one of the largest Dominican communities in the country, plus significant Jewish populations. We understand that Easter and Passover often overlap, and that spring celebrations look different depending on who’s at your table. That’s why our selection includes traditional white Easter lilies alongside pastel spring arrangements and custom options that reflect how your family actually celebrates.
We’ve supplied flowers for film productions, corporate events, and church services across all five boroughs. But most of our work is simpler: helping someone make Sunday dinner look special or getting flowers to their mom’s apartment in Washington Heights before she gets home from work.
You can order online or call our Midtown location directly. If you’re ordering for same-day delivery, we need the order by early afternoon to guarantee it arrives the same day. That timing works for most Easter weekend orders, but if you’re planning something for a Saturday evening church service, calling ahead helps.
Once we have your order, our florists pull together your arrangement using flowers that arrived fresh that morning. Easter lilies take three years to grow from bulb to bloom, so we source from growers who time their harvests specifically for the Easter season. That’s why lilies ordered in March look and last better than ones sitting in a grocery store cooler since February.
Delivery covers Fort George and the surrounding Manhattan neighborhoods. Our drivers know the area, which matters when you’re navigating apartment buildings or trying to coordinate delivery around someone’s schedule. If you need flowers left with a doorman or delivered to a church before a specific service time, just let us know when you order.
After delivery, you’ll get confirmation. If anything goes wrong—wrong address, recipient wasn’t home, building access issues—we contact you immediately instead of leaving you guessing.

Easter arrangements start around $50 for a simple bouquet and scale up depending on size and flower selection. Spring floral centerpieces for brunch tables typically run between $75-150. Church flower arrangements for altars or sanctuary displays start higher because of the scale and installation involved.
Every arrangement includes a mix of seasonal flowers selected that morning. For Easter, that usually means lilies, tulips, hyacinths, and other spring blooms in whites, pastels, and soft yellows. If you’re in Fort George and hosting family from other parts of the city, we can match your color scheme or work around specific cultural preferences.
Church arrangements require more planning. Many congregations in upper Manhattan order large displays for Easter Sunday services, which means coordinating delivery times, setup logistics, and sometimes multiple arrangements for different areas of the building. We’ve handled this for churches across the city, so we know how to work around Saturday evening services or early Sunday setup requirements.
Custom requests are common during Easter week. If you need two dozen white lilies for a memorial service or want a centerpiece that incorporates specific colors for a family tradition, we can do that. The key is calling early enough that we can source exactly what you need instead of substituting at the last minute.
Same-day delivery requires orders placed by early afternoon, usually around 1-2 PM. That cutoff shifts slightly depending on delivery volume and your specific location within Fort George.
If you’re ordering on Good Friday or Holy Saturday, expect higher demand and potentially earlier cutoffs. Calling our shop directly at those times gives you the most accurate answer about what’s still possible that day.
For Easter Sunday delivery specifically, we recommend ordering by Thursday or Friday. Sunday delivery is available but limited because many of our delivery partners have reduced schedules. If Sunday delivery is critical, mention that when you order so we can confirm feasibility before you commit.
Easter lilies are specific flowers—usually the Nellie White variety—that take three years to grow from bulb to bloom. They’re white, trumpet-shaped, and strongly associated with Easter religious symbolism. They also have a distinct fragrance that some people love and others find overwhelming in small spaces.
Spring bouquets are broader arrangements that might include tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, roses, and other seasonal flowers in pastel colors. They’re less formal than pure lily arrangements and work better if you want color variety or need something that fits a brunch table without dominating the room.
If you’re ordering for a church service, lilies are usually the traditional choice. If you’re hosting family or sending flowers to someone’s home, spring bouquets give you more flexibility with color and style. You can also do a combination—lilies as the focal point with supporting spring flowers around them—which is what we recommend for larger centerpieces.
Yes, but church deliveries require more advance notice than residential orders. Churches often need arrangements delivered and set up before evening services on Saturday or early morning on Sunday, which means coordinating timing with church staff and sometimes accessing locked buildings.
When you order for a church, we need the church contact’s name and phone number, the preferred delivery window, and any setup instructions. Some churches want arrangements placed in specific locations—altar, sanctuary, entrance—and others just need them dropped off for volunteers to arrange.
Fort George and the broader Washington Heights area have a high concentration of churches serving diverse congregations. We’ve delivered to Catholic, Protestant, and non-denominational churches throughout upper Manhattan, so we’re familiar with the logistics. The key is ordering early enough that we can confirm delivery timing with the church before Easter weekend arrives.
Fresh Easter lilies should last 7-10 days with proper care. That means keeping them in a cool spot away from direct sunlight, changing the water every 2-3 days, and trimming stems at an angle when you first get them.
Mixed spring bouquets vary depending on what’s included. Tulips typically last 5-7 days. Hyacinths and daffodils can go a week or longer. Roses, if they’re part of the arrangement, usually last the longest—up to two weeks if you’re diligent about water changes.
The biggest factor in longevity is how fresh the flowers were when they arrived. Flowers that spent days in transit or sat in a warehouse won’t last as long as ones cut and arranged the same day you receive them. That’s the advantage of ordering from a local Midtown florist instead of a national shipping service—you’re getting flowers that were fresh that morning, not flowers that started their journey three states away.
Yes. Fort George is home to large Dominican and Jewish communities, and we regularly create arrangements that reflect different cultural approaches to spring celebrations. Easter and Passover often overlap, which means some customers need arrangements that work for both holidays or that respect specific religious symbolism.
For Passover, that might mean avoiding certain flower types or focusing on white and blue color schemes. For Dominican families celebrating Easter, we’ve done arrangements incorporating specific colors tied to family traditions or regional preferences. The key is telling us what matters to you when you order.
Custom work costs the same as standard arrangements if you’re working within our existing flower inventory. If you need something highly specific that requires sourcing unusual flowers or colors, that might add cost and requires more advance notice. But most cultural customization is straightforward—it’s about understanding what the flowers mean to you and your family, not just arranging something that looks generically “Easter.”
