Hear from Our Customers
You need birthday flowers delivered today, and you need them to look like you actually put thought into it. Not a sad box of half-open roses that spent six hours in a hot van.
When you order from us, you’re getting arrangements put together that morning by someone who knows what fresh flowers actually look like. We’re located at 3 West 51st Street, which means your birthday bouquet doesn’t travel across three boroughs before it reaches your recipient. It goes a few blocks, stays fresh, and arrives during the window you were promised.
Same-day delivery works here because we’re already in Midtown. Order by 2 PM, and we’ll have it there today. Your building’s doorman protocol, security desk requirements, delivery instructions—we’ve handled them before. You don’t need to walk someone through how your building works. We already know.
Columbia Midtown Florist isn’t new to this neighborhood. We’ve been operating in the heart of Manhattan long enough to know which buildings require appointments, which doormen prefer a heads-up call, and how to time deliveries so your flowers don’t sit in a lobby for two hours.
We source our flowers fresh each morning from the city’s wholesale district. That’s how we can guarantee you’re sending something that was cut recently, not something that’s been sitting in a warehouse since last Tuesday. Our arrangements are hand-crafted here—no pre-made boxes, no generic designs that look like every other birthday bouquet on the block.
Billionaire’s Row expects a certain level of service, and we’ve built our operation around delivering it. That means showing up on time, handling your delivery with discretion, and making sure what arrives looks exactly like what you ordered.
You place your order online or call us directly. Tell us what kind of arrangement you want—birthday roses, a mixed bouquet, something specific to match their taste—and when it needs to arrive. If you’re ordering same-day, get it in by 2 PM and we’ll make it happen.
We put your arrangement together that day using flowers we picked up that morning. No sitting in cold storage for a week. No pulling from yesterday’s leftovers. Fresh stems, arranged by hand, packaged so they survive the trip without looking like they’ve been through a war.
Our driver takes it directly to the address you provided. We’re familiar with building protocols across Midtown Manhattan, so if there’s a security desk or a doorman who needs to sign off, we know the drill. You get confirmation once it’s delivered, so you’re not left wondering if it actually made it.
If something goes wrong—wrong address, recipient wasn’t home, building wouldn’t accept it—we contact you immediately. No waiting until end of day to find out your happy birthday flowers are still sitting in our shop.
Ready to get started?
Every birthday flower arrangement we deliver is made to order. You’re not getting something we made three days ago and stuck in a cooler. You’re getting flowers that were cut recently, arranged that morning, and delivered while they still look like they’re supposed to.
We offer same-day and next-day flower delivery across Manhattan. If you need birthday roses delivered this afternoon, we can do it. If you want something more elaborate—exotic flowers, custom color schemes, a specific style—we can handle that too, but you’ll want to give us a bit more notice.
Our delivery vehicles are climate-controlled, which matters more than you’d think. Manhattan weather swings from freezing to sweltering depending on the season, and flowers don’t handle temperature shocks well. We keep them stable from our shop to your recipient’s door.
Billionaire’s Row buildings often have strict delivery procedures. We’ve worked with most of them before, so we know what to expect. If your building requires advance notice or has specific delivery hours, let us know when you order. We’ll coordinate it so there’s no back-and-forth or missed deliveries.
Yes, as long as you order by 2 PM. We’re located at 3 West 51st Street in Midtown, so we’re not fighting crosstown traffic or coming from Brooklyn. Your birthday bouquet goes a few blocks, not across the entire city.
Same-day delivery works here because of proximity. We’re already in your neighborhood, we already know the buildings, and we’ve already worked with most of the doormen and security desks in the area. That cuts out the usual delays that make same-day flower delivery such a gamble with other florists.
If you order after 2 PM, we can still get it there—just not today. Next-day delivery is reliable, and honestly, if you’ve got the time, it gives us more flexibility to source exactly what you want instead of working with what we have on hand.
We’ve dealt with them before. Billionaire’s Row buildings tend to have stricter procedures than your average apartment complex, and we’ve been delivering here long enough to know what to expect.
When you place your order, let us know if there are any special instructions—specific delivery hours, a doorman who needs advance notice, a security desk that requires ID, whatever it is. We’ll handle it. If we’ve delivered to that building before, we likely already know the protocol.
If something comes up that we weren’t expecting, our driver will contact us, and we’ll contact you. We don’t just leave your birthday flowers in a lobby and hope for the best. We make sure they get to the right person, in the right condition, without creating a hassle for anyone involved.
Because we source them fresh that morning and arrange them the same day. We’re not pulling from stock that’s been sitting around since last week. We’re not shipping pre-made arrangements from a warehouse in New Jersey. We’re making your birthday bouquet here, in our shop, using flowers we picked up from the wholesale district that day.
Our arrangements are hand-crafted, which means someone with actual floral design experience is putting them together—not a part-timer following a diagram. If you order birthday roses, you’re getting roses that were cut recently and still have their full bloom ahead of them. If you want something more elaborate, we’ll build it to your specifications.
We also use climate-controlled delivery vehicles, so your flowers aren’t getting cooked in the summer or frozen in the winter during transport. They leave our shop looking good, and they arrive looking the same way.
National services outsource. They take your order, send it to a local florist in the area, and hope that florist delivers something close to what you thought you were ordering. You’re playing telephone with your flower delivery, and the quality depends entirely on whichever shop they contracted with that day.
When you order from us, you’re ordering directly from the people who will make and deliver your arrangement. No middleman. No outsourcing. We control the entire process from start to finish, which means we can actually guarantee what shows up.
We’re also local, which matters for timing. A national service might promise same-day delivery, but they’re coordinating with a third party who might be across town, behind schedule, or dealing with a backlog. We’re right here in Midtown. We know the neighborhood. We know the buildings. We know how to get your birthday flowers delivered on time without the usual runaround.
Yes. If you have specific requests—certain flowers, particular colors, a style that matches the recipient’s taste—let us know when you order. We’ll build it to your specifications as long as we can source what you’re asking for.
Custom arrangements take a bit more time, so if you’re ordering same-day, we’re limited to what we have on hand that morning. If you’re planning ahead, we can source specific flowers and put together something more personalized. Just give us a day or two of lead time.
You can also include a personal message with your delivery. Keep it short and clear—our drivers will attach it to the arrangement. If you want something more elaborate, like a card with specific formatting or a longer note, mention that when you order and we’ll make it happen.
