Hear from Our Customers
You need Easter flowers that look fresh on Thursday and still impress on Sunday. Not arrangements that start drooping by Saturday morning.
Every easter bouquet leaves our Midtown shop the morning of delivery. We source from the NYC flower district daily, which means your spring flowers haven’t been sitting in a warehouse for three days before they reach Morningside Heights. You’re getting blooms that were cut recently, arranged fresh, and delivered in vehicles that keep them at the right temperature.
If you’re sending flowers to a building near Columbia University or anywhere in Morningside Heights, our drivers know the drill. Which doormen need advance notice. Which buildings require lobby drop-offs. How to navigate Riverside Drive during morning rush without your arrangement sitting in traffic for an hour.
You order before 2 PM on a weekday, and your Easter lily delivery happens that afternoon. Not “maybe today, maybe tomorrow.” That day.
We operate from 3 West 51st Street, right in the heart of Manhattan. We’ve been handling flower deliveries across the city long enough to know that Morningside Heights isn’t just another neighborhood—it’s got its own rhythm, its own buildings, its own delivery challenges.
We work with academic institutions, corporate clients, hotels, and residential customers throughout the area. Our drivers have delivered to Teachers College residence halls at 2 AM for surprise birthdays and to Riverside Church for Easter Sunday services that start at 8 AM sharp.
You’re not dealing with a national call center or a gig-economy courier hoping Google Maps gets them close. You’re working with a local florist who’s made thousands of deliveries to Morningside Heights and knows what it takes to get spring floral centerpieces to your door in perfect condition.
You place your order online or call our shop directly. If it’s before 2 PM on a weekday, we’re making that arrangement fresh and getting it out for same-day delivery to Morningside Heights, NY.
Our florists build your easter bouquet that morning in our Midtown location. We’re not pulling pre-made arrangements from a cooler. Every spring bouquet is made to order with flowers we picked up from the flower district earlier that day.
Once it’s ready, our driver loads it into a temperature-controlled vehicle and heads to your delivery address. They know Morningside Heights—the buildings, the streets, the access protocols. If there’s a doorman, they handle it. If it’s a walk-up, they walk it up. If the recipient isn’t home, they coordinate with building staff or follow your delivery instructions.
You get confirmation once the arrangement is delivered. If there’s an issue—wrong address, recipient unavailable, building closed—we contact you immediately and figure it out. No one’s waiting until end-of-day to tell you there was a problem.
For Easter specifically, we recommend ordering by Thursday, March 28th if you want flowers to arrive in peak condition for the holiday weekend. Earlier is better, especially for church flower arrangements that need to be in place before services.

Easter lilies are the traditional choice—white blooms that represent purity and renewal. We carry them as potted plants and cut stems, depending on what you need. If you’re decorating a church altar or sending flowers to someone’s home, we can build arrangements in different sizes and styles.
Spring flowers like tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths are also popular this time of year. Pastels are big right now—soft pinks, buttery yellows, light purples. If you want something bolder, we can do that too. The goal is to match what you’re looking for, not push you toward whatever we have extra inventory of.
For church flower arrangements, we’ve worked with congregations throughout Morningside Heights and the surrounding areas. Riverside Church, Corpus Christi Church, St. John the Divine—we know the spaces, the setup times, and what works visually in those environments. If you need multiple arrangements for an Easter service, we can coordinate delivery and setup so everything’s in place before your congregation arrives.
Spring floral centerpieces for home use are straightforward. You tell us the size, the color palette, and where it’s going. We build something that fits the space and lasts through the holiday. If you’re hosting Easter brunch and need a centerpiece for your dining table, we’re not sending you a towering arrangement that blocks conversation. We’re sending you something appropriate.
Morningside Heights has a high concentration of academics, professionals, and families who appreciate quality without unnecessary theatrics. That’s how we approach every arrangement—well-made, thoughtfully designed, delivered reliably.
Yes, if you order before 2 PM Monday through Friday. Same-day easter lily delivery covers all of Morningside Heights and the surrounding Manhattan neighborhoods below 100th Street.
Here’s what that actually means: you place an order at 11 AM, and your arrangement gets delivered that afternoon. Not next-day. Not “within 24 hours.” That day.
We can’t guarantee same-day delivery on weekends or if you order after 2 PM. At that point, we’re looking at next-day delivery. For Easter weekend specifically, the earlier you order, the better. If you’re trying to get flowers delivered on Good Friday or Easter Sunday, call us directly so we can confirm timing and availability.
Thursday, March 28th is the sweet spot if you want flowers to look their best throughout Easter weekend. Lilies and spring flowers will stay fresh from Thursday through Sunday if they’re cared for properly.
If you wait until Saturday or Sunday to order, you’re competing with everyone else who waited until the last minute. We’ll do everything we can to accommodate you, but availability gets tighter and delivery windows get narrower.
For church flower arrangements that need to be in place for Easter Sunday services, Wednesday or Thursday delivery is ideal. That gives you time to position everything before the holiday rush, and the flowers will still look great on Sunday morning. If your service is early—like 8 AM or 9 AM—let us know when you order so we can coordinate timing with your church staff.
Yes. We’ve been delivering to Columbia University buildings, Teachers College, and other academic institutions in Morningside Heights for years.
University buildings have their own delivery protocols. Some require appointments. Some only accept deliveries at specific entrances. Some have mail rooms that handle all packages and flowers. Our drivers know which buildings have which rules because they’ve been there before.
If you’re sending an easter bouquet to a student in a residence hall, we’ll work with the building staff to make sure it reaches the right person. If you’re sending flowers to a faculty office, we know where those buildings are and how to access them. If there’s a specific delivery instruction—like “leave with department secretary” or “call recipient upon arrival”—we follow it.
The key is giving us accurate building names and room numbers when you order. “Columbia University” isn’t specific enough. “Furnald Hall, Room 512” is.
Easter lilies are the classic choice—white, trumpet-shaped blooms that are traditional for the holiday. We carry them as potted plants and cut stems. Potted lilies last longer if the recipient wants to keep the plant after Easter. Cut lilies work better for mixed arrangements.
Beyond lilies, we have tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, roses, and other spring flowers depending on what’s available that week. Pastels are popular right now—soft pinks, light yellows, lavender. If you want something outside that palette, we can accommodate.
For church flower arrangements, we typically use larger blooms and fuller designs because they need to be visible from a distance. For home arrangements and personal gifts, we scale things appropriately. If you have a specific vision—certain colors, certain flowers, certain style—tell us when you order. If we can source it, we’ll make it happen. If we can’t, we’ll tell you upfront rather than substituting without asking.
It depends on size, flower type, and complexity. A simple easter bouquet with seasonal spring flowers starts around $60-$75. Larger arrangements with premium blooms like lilies and roses run $100-$150. Church flower arrangements and custom designs for events cost more because they require more flowers and more labor.
We’re not the cheapest option in Manhattan. We’re also not trying to be. You’re paying for fresh flowers sourced that morning, arrangements made by experienced florists, and reliable delivery by drivers who know Morningside Heights.
If you’re comparing prices online and see arrangements advertised for $39.99, read the fine print. Those prices usually don’t include delivery fees, service fees, or “same-day surcharges” that get added at checkout. By the time you’re done, you’re paying $70 for something that was marketed as $40—and it might show up in a box that the recipient has to arrange themselves.
We give you transparent pricing upfront. What you see is what you pay. If you want a quote for a specific arrangement or a bulk order for a church service, call us and we’ll walk through options.
