Hear from Our Customers
You’ve seen it before. You order flowers online, they promise something gorgeous, and what shows up looks nothing like what you paid for. Wilted stems, wrong colors, half the size you expected.
That’s not how this works. When you order birthday flowers from us, you’re getting exactly what you see—hand-arranged in our Midtown shop that morning, delivered by our own drivers who know Manhattan’s buildings, doormen, and timing. No third-party handoffs. No mystery bouquets shipped from a warehouse three states away.
If you order by 2 PM on a weekday, your birthday bouquet gets delivered the same day throughout Manhattan below 100th Street. We’re at 3 West 51st Street, which means we’re already in the middle of where you need us to be. Our drivers aren’t guessing their way through Midtown—they know which buildings need appointments, which lobbies require check-ins, and how to time deliveries around lunch rushes.
Columbia Midtown Florist isn’t a call center or an app that outsources your order. We’re a local florist in the heart of Manhattan, and we’ve built our reputation on doing what most flower delivery services in NYC don’t bother with anymore—controlling quality from start to finish.
Every morning, we source our flowers fresh from the city’s wholesale district. That means your birthday roses, seasonal blooms, and custom arrangements start with the best available stems that day. We arrange them in-house, and our team delivers them directly. You’re working with the same people who design and deliver your flowers, not a third-party contractor who’s juggling 50 orders across five boroughs.
We also handle corporate accounts, wedding florals, and even production work for film sets across New York City. That experience means we know how to deliver on time, handle last-minute requests, and coordinate with building staff when access gets complicated.
You can order directly through our website or call us if you’d rather talk through options. If you’re not sure what to send, we’ll ask a few questions—who’s the recipient, what’s their style, any color preferences—and recommend something that fits.
Once you place your order, we pull together the freshest flowers we have that day and arrange your bouquet by hand. If it’s a same-day delivery and you’ve ordered before 2 PM, we’ll have it out the door and on its way within hours. Our drivers know the neighborhoods, the buildings, and how to navigate Midtown without delays.
If the recipient isn’t home or available, we coordinate with building staff to make sure the flowers are left in a safe spot or held at the front desk. We’ll also let you know once delivery is complete, so you’re not left wondering if they arrived. No hidden fees, no surprise charges—the price you see on our site is what you pay, delivery included.
Ready to get started?
Your birthday bouquet includes fresh flowers sourced that morning, arranged by our team in Midtown, and delivered in climate-controlled vehicles so they arrive in the same condition they left our shop. We’re not handing your order off to a gig worker with a hot car and 20 other stops.
Most of our birthday flower arrangements fall between $75 and $150, which puts you in the range where you’re getting premium quality without the $200+ luxury markup. You’re also getting flowers that photograph well—because in NYC, if it’s not Instagram-ready, it didn’t happen. Our designs reflect current trends while staying timeless enough that they don’t look dated a week later.
We’re seeing a lot of interest in textured, nuanced arrangements heading into 2026—rich color palettes, sustainable styling, and florals that feel expensive without trying too hard. If you want something specific, we can customize based on your vision. If you just want us to send something beautiful, we’ll design a birthday bouquet that makes sense for the recipient and the occasion.
Manhattan deliveries also come with the benefit of our location. We’re already in Midtown, so we’re not fighting bridge traffic or starting from Brooklyn at 8 AM. That proximity matters when timing is tight and you need flowers delivered during business hours.
Yes, if you order by 2 PM Monday through Friday. We deliver same-day throughout Manhattan below 100th Street, and because we’re located at 3 West 51st Street, we’re already positioned in the center of where most deliveries happen.
Same-day flower delivery isn’t just a marketing line for us—it’s how we operate most days. Your flowers are arranged in our shop that morning, packed carefully, and delivered by our drivers who know the area. We don’t outsource to third-party services, so we control timing and quality from start to finish.
If you’re ordering after 2 PM or need delivery outside Manhattan, we can usually accommodate next-day delivery. Call us if you’re cutting it close—we’ll tell you honestly whether we can make it happen.
We deliver everything from classic birthday roses to seasonal mixed bouquets, modern arrangements, and fully custom designs. If you know what you want, we’ll make it happen. If you’re not sure, we’ll ask a few questions and recommend something that fits the recipient’s style.
Right now, we’re seeing a shift toward richer textures and more nuanced color palettes—arrangements that feel sophisticated without being overly formal. That said, if someone just loves bright, traditional birthday flowers, we’re not going to talk you out of it. The goal is to send something that matches the person, not just the occasion.
We also offer options at different price points. You’re not locked into one style or one budget. Most of our birthday bouquets range from $75 to $150, but we can work with you if you need something smaller or want to go bigger for a milestone birthday.
Because we arrange them here and deliver them ourselves. You’re not dealing with a drop-ship service or a national chain that outsources to whoever’s available that day.
Every bouquet is designed in our Midtown shop using flowers we sourced fresh that morning from NYC’s flower district. Our drivers deliver in climate-controlled vehicles, which means your arrangement isn’t sitting in a hot car or getting tossed around between stops. When we say the flowers will arrive fresh and photo-ready, that’s not a guess—it’s how we operate.
We’ve also been doing this long enough to know what works in New York. Our team understands building protocols, doorman preferences, and how to coordinate with front desk staff when the recipient isn’t available. If there’s ever an issue with a delivery, you’re talking directly to us—not a call center three time zones away.
Yes, and we’re particularly good at it because we’re located right here in Midtown. Our drivers know the buildings, the security procedures, and how to time deliveries so they don’t get stuck in lobby traffic during lunch rushes.
If you’re sending flowers to an office, we’ll coordinate with building staff to make sure everything goes smoothly. Some buildings require appointments or have specific delivery windows—we’re familiar with those requirements and plan accordingly. We also handle a lot of corporate accounts, so we’re used to working within business environments where timing and presentation matter.
Office deliveries tend to get a lot of attention, which is why we make sure every birthday bouquet we send looks as good in person as it does in photos. People notice when flowers show up at someone’s desk, and you want them to notice for the right reasons.
You can order directly through our website or call us, even if you’re across the country. We’ll handle everything from here—design, arrangement, delivery, and confirmation once the flowers arrive.
A lot of people use our service specifically because they want to send something to a friend, family member, or colleague in NYC but don’t trust the big national services to deliver quality. You’re working directly with a local florist who’s arranging and delivering your order, not a middleman who’s farming it out to whoever’s cheapest that day.
We’ll also communicate with you throughout the process. If you have questions about what to send, we’ll make recommendations. If you want to customize the arrangement, we’ll work with you on that. And once delivery is complete, we’ll let you know so you’re not left wondering whether it actually arrived.
