Hear from Our Customers
Easter Sunday doesn’t wait for anyone. You’ve got brunch plans, family visiting, or a church service that needs fresh arrangements—and the last thing you need is flowers that look tired by Saturday afternoon.
When you order Easter flowers from our Midtown studio, you’re getting blooms cut fresh and arranged the same day. Not flowers that sat in a cooler for a week. Not arrangements that were designed three days ago and look it.
Easter lilies with mostly white buds that’ll actually open in your home. Spring bouquets with tulips, hyacinths, and ranunculus that hold up through the weekend. Church flower arrangements sized and styled for your specific space—not a generic centerpiece that works nowhere.
Order by 1 PM, and your Easter bouquet arrives anywhere in Manhattan by 5 PM. That includes Greenwich Village, the West Village, SoHo, and everywhere in between. You don’t have to hope they show up. You don’t have to track down a delivery driver. It just gets there.
Columbia Midtown Florist has been serving Manhattan for over two decades. Our studio sits at 3 West 51st Street, just off Fifth Avenue and across from Rockefeller Plaza—close enough to deliver to Greenwich Village in under 30 minutes.
We’re a family-owned shop, not a national chain with a local phone number. That means when you call, you’re talking to someone who actually arranges flowers, not a call center reading a script. We’ve done everything from weekly corporate deliveries to full wedding installations to last-minute Easter orders for people who forgot until Thursday.
Greenwich Village customers know what good design looks like. You’re not impressed by filler and baby’s breath. You want something that feels intentional, seasonal, and worth what you’re paying. That’s what we do—spring flowers arranged with actual thought, delivered when we say they’ll be there.
You place an order online or call our studio directly. If you’re not sure what you want, we’ll ask a few questions: Who’s it for? What’s the occasion? Any color preferences? Any flowers they love or hate? Takes about three minutes.
Once we have your order, we pull fresh stems from our cooler and start designing. Easter lilies, tulips, daffodils, hyacinths—whatever fits the arrangement and the season. Everything gets arranged in-house, not shipped in pre-made from a warehouse.
Your arrangement gets delivered the same day if you order by 1 PM. Our drivers know Manhattan. They know how to navigate Greenwich Village’s narrow streets, where to park, and which buildings have which entrances. You’ll get a delivery confirmation once it’s dropped off.
If something goes wrong—wrong address, nobody home, flowers damaged in transit—you call us and we fix it. No phone tree. No ticket system. Just a real person who can actually solve the problem.

Easter flowers in 2024 aren’t just white lilies anymore. You’ll see arrangements with sage green, dusty rose, and terracotta tones—grounding those traditional spring pastels with something a little more sophisticated. That’s what’s trending in Manhattan right now, and it’s what works in Greenwich Village homes that lean modern or eclectic.
For church flower arrangements, size matters. A small bouquet gets lost on an altar. A massive installation blocks sightlines. We design church arrangements that fit your specific space—whether that’s St. Joseph’s on Sixth Avenue or a smaller chapel in the West Village. You tell us the dimensions, we’ll make sure it works.
Spring floral centerpieces for Easter brunch or dinner run the same way. You’re not getting a generic round arrangement. You’re getting something designed for your table size, your color scheme, and your vibe. Low enough that people can talk across the table. Seasonal enough that it feels like Easter. Interesting enough that someone asks where you got it.
Same-day delivery covers all of Greenwich Village, plus the rest of Manhattan. If you’re hosting in a walk-up, our drivers will bring it to your door. If you’re in a doorman building, they’ll leave it with the desk and text you. If you need it at a specific time, we’ll coordinate.
You need to order by 1 PM for same-day delivery anywhere in Manhattan, including Greenwich Village. That’s a hard cutoff—not 1:15, not 1:30. After 1 PM, your arrangement gets delivered the next business day.
Why the cutoff? Because we’re not pulling pre-made arrangements off a shelf. We’re designing your order fresh, then routing it with our other deliveries. If you order at 12:45 PM, you’ll still get it by 5 PM. If you order at 1:05 PM, it’s going out the next morning.
If you’re reading this on Saturday before Easter and it’s already past 1 PM, call us anyway. Sometimes we can make exceptions for nearby deliveries, especially in Greenwich Village. But don’t count on it—order early if you can.
Freshness and bud selection. Grocery store Easter lilies usually come in already blooming because they look more impressive on the shelf. The problem is they’ve already been sitting there for days, which means you’re getting maybe three or four days of life at home.
We source Easter lilies with mostly white buds—not fully open flowers. Those buds take about two to three days to open once they’re in your home, which means you’re getting a full week or more of blooms. You’re also not dealing with yellowing leaves or that weird smell that happens when lilies sit too long in a cooler.
The other difference is arrangement quality. A potted lily from the grocery store is fine if you just need something green. But if you’re sending Easter flowers to someone’s home or using them as a centerpiece, you want something designed—not just a plant in foil. That’s what we do.
Yes. We deliver church flower arrangements all over Manhattan, including every church in Greenwich Village. St. Joseph’s, Judson Memorial, Church of the Ascension, First Presbyterian—we know them all.
For church deliveries, timing matters more than residential deliveries. If your service starts at 10 AM on Easter Sunday, we’re not delivering at 9:45 AM. We’ll coordinate with you (or the church office) to deliver Saturday afternoon or early Sunday morning, depending on access.
You’ll also want to confirm the size and placement before we design anything. Altar arrangements are different from entry arrangements. Arrangements for a small chapel are different from arrangements for a large sanctuary. We’ll ask the right questions up front so you’re not stuck with something that doesn’t fit the space.
Absolutely. Easter lilies are traditional, but they’re not for everyone. Some people don’t like the smell. Some people want more color. Some people just want something different.
Spring flower arrangements right now include tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, ranunculus, anemones, and stock. You’ll also see some tropical elements mixed in—orchids, protea, even banana leaves if you want something bold. That’s part of the 2024 trend toward mixing traditional spring flowers with more architectural, sculptural elements.
If you’re ordering an Easter bouquet for someone’s home, think about their style. Do they lean traditional or modern? Do they like soft pastels or richer, earthier tones? Do they have pets? (Lilies are toxic to cats, so if they have a cat, skip the lilies entirely.) We’ll design around those details if you give us the context.
It depends on size, flower selection, and delivery timing. A simple Easter bouquet with seasonal spring flowers starts around $75. A larger arrangement with premium lilies, tulips, and more intricate design runs $150 to $250. Church flower arrangements or custom installations cost more depending on scale.
Easter is one of the busiest times of the year for florists, which means flower costs go up across the board. The NYC flower market gets slammed in the weeks leading up to Easter, and prices reflect that demand. You’re not getting ripped off—you’re paying what fresh, seasonal flowers actually cost during a holiday.
If budget matters, order early. Prices tend to creep up as Easter gets closer and availability tightens. If you wait until Saturday before Easter, your options shrink and costs go up. If you order by Wednesday or Thursday, you’ll have more flexibility and better pricing.
