Hear from Our Customers
Easter weekend moves fast in Tribeca. You’re hosting brunch, attending service, or sending flowers to family across Manhattan, and you need them to arrive fresh, on time, and exactly as ordered.
We gather your Easter bouquet fresh that morning from Manhattan’s wholesale district. Every spring flower arrangement gets designed in our Midtown shop at 3 West 51st Street, then delivered by drivers who know Tribeca’s buildings, doormen, and delivery protocols without needing a tutorial.
Orders placed before 2 PM on weekdays get same-day delivery throughout Manhattan below 100th Street. That includes Easter lilies for church flower arrangements, spring floral centerpieces for your dining table, and custom bouquets for hosts who’ve invited you over. Your flowers arrive in climate-controlled vehicles that keep arrangements perfect regardless of April weather, because nobody wants droopy tulips after paying Manhattan prices.
Columbia Midtown Florist has operated from the same Midtown location since the early ’90s. We’re not a venture-backed app trying to disrupt flowers or a national chain drop-shipping arrangements from New Jersey.
Our team designs every Easter bouquet in-house, sources flowers fresh each morning, and handles delivery start to finish. No third-party services. No outsourcing to whoever’s cheapest that week. We know Tribeca’s buildings because we’ve been delivering there for three decades—which doormen prefer advance notice, which lobbies require appointments, and how to navigate your neighborhood without delays.
You’re not our first Easter rush. We’ve handled thousands of holiday orders across Manhattan, and we’ve learned what actually matters: fresh flowers, reliable timing, and not making you track down your delivery on Easter Sunday.
You place your order online or call our Midtown shop. If you need help choosing between Easter lilies and a mixed spring arrangement, we’ll walk you through options based on what you’re using them for—centerpiece, gift, church donation, or decorating your own space.
We source your flowers fresh that morning from Manhattan’s wholesale flower district. Not pre-arranged boxes sitting in a warehouse. Your florist designs the arrangement in our 51st Street shop, matching the style and colors you selected.
Our delivery driver loads your Easter flowers into a climate-controlled vehicle and heads to Tribeca. They know your building’s delivery procedures, whether that’s leaving arrangements with the doorman, calling up to your unit, or coordinating with building management for lobby deliveries. You get a notification when flowers arrive, and if there’s any issue—weather delay, building access problem, recipient not home—we contact you immediately so you’re not wondering where your order is on Easter Sunday.

Easter lilies are the traditional choice—white blooms with religious significance that work for church flower arrangements or home display. We source ours from growers who specialize in holiday lilies, so they’re fresh and haven’t been sitting in a big-box store for a week.
Spring flower arrangements mix tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, and ranunculus in seasonal colors. These work well as Easter brunch centerpieces or gifts for hosts. You can request specific colors if you’re matching table settings or home décor.
Custom bouquets let you combine your preferred spring flowers into arrangements sized for your space. Tribeca apartments often have specific size constraints—small entryway tables, narrow console surfaces, compact dining areas—so we can design around what actually fits in your home rather than sending an oversized arrangement that overwhelms your space.
Church donations and corporate lobby displays are available for larger orders. We’ve supplied flowers for religious services, hotel lobbies, and office buildings throughout Manhattan, so we understand sizing, setup requirements, and delivery timing for institutional orders. If you’re coordinating flowers for a Tribeca venue, we’ll work with their staff on placement and delivery logistics.
Easter Sunday has earlier order cutoffs than regular weekdays because of the holiday volume. If you need same-day Easter delivery in Tribeca, you’ll want to order by late morning at the latest—call our shop directly at that point rather than ordering online, because we can tell you immediately whether we can accommodate your delivery address and timing.
Orders placed earlier in the week have much better availability. If you know you need Easter flowers by Sunday, ordering Thursday or Friday gives you full selection and guaranteed delivery timing. Last-minute Easter Sunday orders are possible, but selection gets limited as the day progresses and delivery windows fill up.
We don’t do “flex delivery” where your flowers might arrive Monday instead. If we can’t deliver on Easter Sunday, we’ll tell you upfront so you can make other arrangements. That’s better than promising delivery and disappointing you when flowers don’t show.
Fresh Easter lilies typically last 7-10 days with proper care, sometimes longer if you’re diligent about maintenance. The lilies we source are cut fresh for Easter orders, not leftovers from earlier spring inventory, which gives you maximum vase life.
Keep them in a cool spot away from direct sunlight and heat vents—Tribeca apartments with radiator heat or south-facing windows can shorten flower life significantly. Change the water every 2-3 days and trim stems at an angle each time you refresh the water. Remove any leaves that fall below the water line because they’ll rot and create bacteria that clogs stems.
The pollen on Easter lilies can stain furniture and fabrics, so many people remove the stamens (the orange parts) as flowers open. This also extends bloom life slightly because the plant isn’t putting energy into pollen production. If you’re displaying lilies on a light-colored surface or near upholstered furniture, either remove stamens or place the arrangement where falling pollen won’t cause issues.
National services typically outsource to local florists in each delivery area, which means you’re ordering from a middleman who takes a cut and passes your order to whoever accepts it that day. You have no idea which actual florist is making your arrangement, what their quality standards are, or whether they’re experienced with Manhattan deliveries.
When you order from us, we’re the florist making and delivering your Easter flowers. Same team, start to finish. We source flowers fresh each morning from Manhattan’s wholesale district, design arrangements in our Midtown shop, and deliver with our own drivers who know Tribeca’s buildings and delivery requirements.
That matters on Easter weekend when timing is critical and you can’t afford flowers showing up late or looking nothing like what you ordered. We’ve been doing this in Manhattan for 30+ years, so we know how to handle holiday volume without dropping quality. National services are optimizing for volume and profit margins. We’re optimizing for you actually getting what you paid for, when you need it.
Yes, we deliver spring floral centerpieces and Easter arrangements to Tribeca restaurants, event venues, and private clubs regularly. Commercial deliveries require more coordination than residential orders because you’re working around venue schedules, staff availability, and event setup timing.
Tell us the venue name and event time when you order. We’ll contact the venue directly to confirm delivery logistics—loading dock access, setup timing, who receives deliveries, and any specific placement instructions. Most Tribeca restaurants prefer deliveries before 10 AM for brunch events, which gives staff time to place arrangements before guests arrive.
For multiple centerpieces, we can design arrangements in consistent sizing and style so your tables look coordinated. If you’re hosting at a venue with specific décor or color schemes, share photos or details so we can match your spring flowers to the existing aesthetic. We’ve supplied flowers for events at venues throughout Manhattan, so we understand the coordination required and won’t leave you managing delivery details on event day.
Most Tribeca buildings have doormen or package rooms where deliveries can be left securely. Our drivers know building protocols throughout the neighborhood—which buildings require calling up to apartments, which doormen accept deliveries for residents, and which buildings have specific delivery procedures.
If your building requires you to be home for deliveries, let us know when you order. We can coordinate a specific delivery window or contact you when the driver is nearby so you can meet them in the lobby. For buildings without doormen, we’ll call or text when we arrive so flowers aren’t left in hallways.
If there’s any delivery issue—building access problem, recipient unavailable, incorrect address—we contact you immediately. You’re not tracking down your Easter flowers or wondering if they’re sitting somewhere. We handle the problem and keep you informed until delivery is completed. That’s part of using a local Manhattan florist instead of a national service that outsources delivery to whoever’s cheapest.
