Hear from Our Customers
You need flowers that show up when they’re supposed to, looking like they’re supposed to. Not crushed in a box. Not three hours late. Not handled by five different people before they reach the door.
We pick up fresh stems every morning from the wholesale district in Manhattan. We arrange them in our Midtown shop at 3 West 51st Street. Then we deliver them ourselves—same day if you order before 2 PM on weekdays.
That means your birthday bouquet gets to Two Bridges without sitting in a warehouse or getting passed off to a third-party driver who’s juggling 40 other stops. It means the roses actually open. The recipient actually smiles. And you don’t spend the rest of the day wondering if your order got lost.
Columbia Midtown Florist operates out of Midtown Manhattan, and we’ve been delivering fresh flowers across the city for years. We know Two Bridges—the high-rises, the walk-ups, the buildings that need appointments, the doormen who need a heads-up.
We don’t use aggregators or drop-ship services. When you place an order with us, our florists make it and our drivers deliver it. That’s how we control quality and timing in a neighborhood where both matter.
Two Bridges has nearly 20,000 residents packed into one of the most densely populated areas in the country. You’re busy. Your recipient is busy. We get it, and we don’t waste anyone’s time.
You place your order online or by phone. If it’s before 2 PM on a weekday, we’ll deliver same-day to Two Bridges and the rest of Manhattan below 100th Street.
Our florists hand-craft your birthday arrangement that morning using flowers we sourced fresh from the wholesale district. No pre-made boxes. No sitting in a cooler for three days. We’re making it for your order.
Then one of our drivers loads it into a climate-controlled vehicle and heads to Two Bridges. They know the neighborhood—which buildings require check-in, which have specific delivery windows, how to navigate the density without delays. Your arrangement arrives protected from weather, handled carefully, and delivered on time.
If there’s an issue—wrong address, recipient isn’t home, building won’t accept delivery—our driver calls you directly. No phone tree. No automated system. A real person who can solve the problem in real time.
Ready to get started?
Every birthday bouquet from Columbia Midtown Florist is hand-arranged by our florists using fresh stems picked up that morning. You’re not getting a pre-packaged arrangement that’s been sitting around. You’re getting flowers chosen and arranged specifically for your order.
We deliver throughout Two Bridges in climate-controlled vehicles that keep your arrangement at the right temperature and humidity. That matters in New York, where summer heat and winter cold can wreck flowers in minutes.
Our drivers understand Manhattan logistics. Two Bridges has some of the densest residential real estate in America—high-rises, apartment complexes, buildings with strict delivery protocols. We’ve been navigating this for years, so your flowers don’t get stuck at the wrong entrance or turned away by security.
You also get direct communication. If something goes wrong, you’re talking to someone who actually works here and can fix it. No offshore call center. No arguing with an automated system. Just a real person who knows where your flowers are and what to do next.
Yes, if you order before 2 PM Monday through Friday. We deliver same-day throughout Manhattan below 100th Street, including Two Bridges.
Here’s why that cutoff matters: we source fresh flowers every morning from the wholesale district, arrange them in our Midtown shop, and then route deliveries based on location and timing. Orders placed before 2 PM give us enough time to create your arrangement and get it to Two Bridges the same day without rushing or cutting corners.
If you order after 2 PM or on a weekend, we’ll work with you to schedule next-day or next-available delivery. Call us directly if you’re in a bind—we’ll tell you honestly what’s possible and what isn’t.
We deliver everything from classic birthday roses to mixed seasonal bouquets, depending on what’s fresh that day and what you’re looking for. If you want something specific—like all pink flowers, or a bouquet with no lilies—just tell us when you order.
Our florists arrange each bouquet by hand, so there’s flexibility. We’re not pulling pre-made arrangements off a shelf. If you’re not sure what to choose, we can walk you through options based on the recipient’s style, the occasion, and what’s looking best that morning.
Two Bridges has a diverse population with different cultural traditions around birthdays and flowers. If you need something that fits a specific custom or preference, let us know. We’ve worked with customers from all backgrounds and can usually accommodate requests that matter to you.
Our drivers know Two Bridges and the specific requirements of high-rise buildings in the area. Some buildings require appointments. Some only accept deliveries during certain hours. Some need you to notify the front desk in advance.
When you place your order, give us as much detail as possible: building name, apartment number, any gate codes, whether the recipient needs to be home, whether the doorman will accept the delivery. The more we know upfront, the smoother it goes.
If our driver runs into an issue—like the building won’t accept the delivery or the recipient isn’t home—they’ll call you directly so we can figure out a solution together. We’re not going to just leave your flowers somewhere random or mark it “attempted delivery” and disappear. We’ll work it out.
Call us immediately. If something’s wrong—flowers arrived damaged, arrangement doesn’t match what you ordered, delivery was late—we want to know right away so we can fix it.
We control the entire process from sourcing to delivery, so when something goes wrong, we can actually do something about it. We’re not going to make you argue with a third-party service or fill out a form that disappears into a corporate void.
Most problems happen because of miscommunication or logistics issues, and they’re fixable if we catch them fast. That’s why we give you a direct line to our shop. You’re talking to the people who made and delivered your arrangement, and we’ll make it right.
Yes, but weekend delivery works differently than weekday delivery. Our same-day cutoff only applies Monday through Friday. For weekend orders, call us directly to confirm availability and timing.
Weekends are busy for birthday flower delivery—everyone’s celebrating, and a lot of people wait until Saturday or Sunday to send flowers. We prioritize orders based on when they’re placed and where they’re going, so the earlier you order, the better.
If you know you’ll need weekend delivery to Two Bridges, don’t wait until Saturday morning. Order a day or two ahead if possible, or at least call us Friday to confirm we can accommodate your timing. We’ll be straight with you about what’s realistic.
