Hear from Our Customers
You’re not ordering flowers because you have extra time. You’re ordering because someone’s birthday is today, the funeral is tomorrow, or you need your office lobby to stop looking like an afterthought.
Most flower delivery services make promises they can’t keep. Orders show up late. Colors are wrong. Stems are already wilting when they arrive.
We’re in Midtown. Our drivers know which buildings need appointments, which doormen prefer a heads-up, and how to navigate lunch-hour gridlock. Orders placed before 2 PM on weekdays get delivered the same day throughout Manhattan below 100th Street. Not shipped from a warehouse in New Jersey. Not handed off to a third-party courier who’s never been to your building before.
You get flowers that were picked that morning from the NYC Flower District, arranged by someone who’s been doing this for years, and delivered by a driver who knows exactly where they’re going. That’s the difference between flowers that impress and flowers that disappoint.
Columbia Midtown Florist isn’t trying to serve every zip code in America. We’re focused on doing one thing well: delivering fresh flower arrangements across Manhattan.
NoHo is one of the most expensive neighborhoods in Manhattan for a reason. The people who live and work here expect things to be done right. That means flowers that last more than three days, deliveries that don’t require five follow-up calls, and arrangements that actually match what you ordered.
We source from the NYC Flower District every morning. No bulk shipments sitting in a warehouse. No mystery substitutions because “that’s what we had available.” You’re getting flowers that were fresh today, arranged today, and delivered today.
You place an order online or call us directly. If you need something specific, calling is faster. If you’re fine choosing from what’s available, the website works.
Orders placed before 2 PM Monday through Friday get delivered the same day across Manhattan below 100th Street. Outer boroughs depend on availability, so call first if you’re sending flowers to Brooklyn or Queens.
Our designers start with what’s fresh that morning. If you ordered roses and the roses at the Flower District look weak, we’ll call you before we settle for something subpar. Most florists just substitute and hope you don’t notice.
Delivery drivers coordinate with building staff. If your recipient’s office requires a visitor pass, we handle it. If the doorman needs a call before coming up, we know. If it’s a walk-up in the East Village, we’re not surprised.
You get a notification when the flowers are delivered. If something goes wrong, you hear about it immediately, not three days later when you finally think to follow up.

When you order flower arrangements from Columbia Midtown Florist, you’re getting flowers that were picked that morning. Not last week. Not shipped from another state. That morning.
Manhattan moves fast. Your flowers need to keep up. We deliver to law firms in Midtown, tech companies in Flatiron, residential buildings in NoHo, and funeral homes across the city. Same-day delivery isn’t a marketing gimmick. It’s how we operate.
NoHo has some of the strictest building protocols in Manhattan. Co-op boards, doormen with specific preferences, lobbies that require scheduled deliveries. Our drivers know the drill. They’re not showing up confused, calling you for directions, or leaving your $200 arrangement with a random neighbor.
Corporate clients use us for weekly lobby arrangements, event florals, and client gifts. We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re paying for flowers that last 5-10 days instead of 48 hours. You’re paying for a delivery team that knows what they’re doing. You’re paying for someone to answer the phone when something needs to change last minute.
If you’re sending sympathy flowers, we coordinate directly with the funeral home. If you’re planning a wedding, we work with your venue and timeline. If you just need a birthday arrangement delivered to your mom’s apartment, we make sure it actually gets there.
Same-day delivery works for orders placed before 2 PM, Monday through Friday, anywhere in Manhattan below 100th Street. That includes NoHo, Midtown, the Financial District, the West Village, the Upper East Side—basically the core of Manhattan where most people work and live.
Outer boroughs are different. Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island depend on our delivery schedule that day and where exactly you’re sending flowers. Call us before you order if it’s outside Manhattan. We’ll tell you straight up if we can make it happen or if you need to plan for next-day delivery.
Weekends are trickier. Saturday deliveries happen, but the cutoff is earlier and availability is limited. Sundays we’re closed. If you’re planning something for a Sunday event, order by Friday and we’ll coordinate the delivery timing with the venue or recipient.
You’re ordering from a local florist, not a national wire service that farms your order out to whoever’s nearby. That’s the first difference.
Second, we design arrangements the same day they’re delivered. If you order roses and the roses at the Flower District that morning don’t meet our standard, we call you before we make something you won’t like. Most florists just substitute whatever’s cheap and available, then hope you don’t complain.
Photos on our website show real arrangements we’ve made, not stock images from a corporate catalog. If you want something specific—certain colors, certain flowers, a certain style—call us. We’ll talk through what’s realistic and what’s available. If you’re fine with “designer’s choice,” we’ll make something that’s fresh and seasonal, using the best flowers we picked up that morning.
If your recipient isn’t home, our driver coordinates with the building. Most doormen in NoHo will accept deliveries. If it’s a walk-up with no doorman, we’ll try calling the recipient. If no one answers and there’s no safe place to leave the flowers, we bring them back and contact you to reschedule.
If the building has specific requirements—visitor pass, scheduled delivery time, loading dock access—our drivers know how to handle it. They’ve been doing this in Manhattan long enough to know which buildings are easy and which ones require extra coordination.
If something goes wrong on our end, you’ll hear about it immediately. Not three days later when you finally think to follow up. We’ll either fix it the same day or refund you. No runaround, no excuses, no making you chase us down for answers.
Yes. And there’s a reason.
National flower delivery companies add service fees, delivery fees, and processing fees that aren’t obvious until checkout. Then they contract your order out to a local florist who gets a fraction of what you paid. That florist has to cut corners to make any profit—cheaper flowers, rushed designs, inexperienced drivers.
When you order directly from us, more of your money goes toward the actual flowers. Better blooms, better design, drivers who know what they’re doing. You’re also getting flowers that were sourced fresh that morning, not shipped from a warehouse and sitting in a box for two days.
If you just need something cheap and don’t care how it looks or when it arrives, we’re probably not the right fit. If you’re sending flowers because the occasion actually matters—a funeral, a wedding, a major apology, a corporate gift—then spending an extra $30 to ensure it’s done right is worth it.
Yes. We work with law firms, financial companies, tech startups, and creative agencies across Manhattan. Some clients need weekly lobby arrangements. Some need event florals for product launches or client dinners. Some just need reliable delivery for employee birthdays and client gifts.
For weddings, we do full-service coordination. That means consultations to understand your vision, working with your venue on setup and timing, and designing arrangements that photograph well and last through the entire event. We’ve worked with venues across New York City, from intimate spaces in the West Village to larger venues in Midtown and Brooklyn.
Corporate accounts get dedicated attention. If you need the same arrangement delivered to your office every Monday, we make that happen without you needing to reorder each week. If you’re sending flowers to multiple locations on the same day, we coordinate all of it. If something needs to change last minute, you’re calling someone who actually knows your account, not a call center in another state.
