Hear from Our Customers
You’re not looking for flowers. You’re looking for reliability when you’re already behind schedule.
When you order from a local florist in Gramercy Park before noon, you need confidence that someone will actually show up that day. Not tomorrow. Not with wilted stems or a half-hearted substitute because they ran out of stock. You need what you ordered, when you need it, without the panic of wondering if it’ll arrive.
That’s what same-day flower delivery should mean. We arrange everything here at our Midtown location, and our drivers handle the delivery directly. No third-party services. No outsourcing to someone who doesn’t know the difference between a peony and a carnation. You get fresh flowers, arranged by people who’ve been doing this for over a century, delivered to Gramercy Park addresses the same day you place the order.
Columbia Midtown Florist has been operating in Manhattan for over 110 years. That’s not a marketing line—it’s just how long we’ve been arranging flowers for New Yorkers who expect quality and don’t have time for excuses.
We’re located at 3 West 51st Street in Midtown, which puts us close enough to Gramercy Park to know the neighborhood. We deliver to the brownstones on Irving Place, the high-rises near Lexington, and the offices scattered between Madison Square and Union Square. We know which buildings have loading docks and which require a call up to the resident. That kind of local knowledge matters when you’re trying to get flowers delivered on time in a city that doesn’t wait for anyone.
You place an order online or by phone. If it’s before noon and you’re in Gramercy Park, we can deliver same-day.
Our designers pull fresh flowers from our inventory and arrange them here in our shop. No pre-made arrangements sitting in a cooler since yesterday. Everything is put together after you order, so the stems are fresh and the design matches what you actually requested.
Once it’s ready, one of our trained drivers delivers it directly to the address you provided. They know how to handle flowers so they don’t arrive crushed or wilted. If there’s an issue with access or timing, they’ll call. If you need a specific delivery window for a corporate office or event space, let us know when you order and we’ll coordinate.
That’s it. No mystery fees at checkout. No surprise substitutions. No wondering if your flowers are stuck in a warehouse in New Jersey.

You’re getting premium flowers arranged by people who know what they’re doing. That includes roses, peonies, lilies, orchids, and seasonal blooms that actually last more than two days.
For Gramercy Park residents and offices, we offer weekly corporate flower delivery. That means fresh arrangements delivered to your office lobby or conference room every week without you having to remember to reorder. It’s popular with law firms, real estate offices, and anyone who wants their space to look polished without the hassle.
We also handle wedding flowers for venues across Manhattan. Full-service means we meet with you to discuss your vision, source the flowers, design the arrangements, and handle setup on the day of your event. We’ve worked with venues from the Gramercy Park Hotel to private lofts in Flatiron, so we understand the logistics of getting flowers into spaces that aren’t always easy to access.
If you need orchids for a residential client or corporate lobby, we deliver those too. They last longer than traditional arrangements, which makes them cost-effective if you’re trying to keep a space looking fresh without weekly orders.
Yes, if you order before noon. That’s the cutoff for same-day flower delivery in Gramercy Park and the surrounding Manhattan neighborhoods.
After noon, we can usually still accommodate next-day delivery, but same-day isn’t guaranteed. The reason for the cutoff is simple: we need time to arrange the flowers properly and get them delivered during business hours or when someone is actually home to receive them.
If you’re ordering for a specific time window—like a corporate delivery that needs to arrive before a meeting or a residential delivery when you know someone will be home—mention that when you place the order. We’ll do our best to coordinate, but the earlier you order, the more flexibility we have.
We’ll call you before making any substitutions. You’re not going to get a surprise arrangement that looks nothing like what you ordered.
If a specific flower isn’t available—maybe it’s out of season or our supplier ran out—we’ll suggest an alternative that’s similar in color, style, and price. You decide if that works for you. If it doesn’t, we’ll figure out another option or refund your order.
This is one reason why ordering from a local flower shop matters. When you order from a national service, they often outsource to a local florist who makes substitutions without asking. You don’t find out until the arrangement shows up and looks completely different. We don’t operate that way. You’re dealing directly with the people who are arranging and delivering your flowers.
Delivery fees are included in the price you see at checkout. No hidden charges that suddenly appear when you’re about to pay.
For Gramercy Park and most of Manhattan, delivery is straightforward. If you’re ordering to a location outside our standard delivery zone—like way uptown or out in the boroughs—there might be an additional fee, but you’ll see that before you complete the order.
The frustration most people have with flower delivery isn’t the fee itself. It’s the surprise. You spend time picking out an arrangement, get to checkout, and suddenly there’s an extra $20 tacked on that wasn’t mentioned anywhere. We don’t do that. The price you see is the price you pay.
Most arrangements last five to seven days if you follow basic care instructions. Some flowers, like orchids, last several weeks.
The reason our flowers last longer than what you’d get from a grocery store or budget service is because they’re fresher when they arrive. We’re not shipping them across the country or storing them in a warehouse for days. They’re cut, arranged, and delivered within a short window.
When your flowers arrive, trim the stems at an angle, change the water every couple of days, and keep them out of direct sunlight. That’s it. If you do that, you’ll get a full week out of most arrangements. If something wilts within the first day or two, that’s not normal—call us and we’ll replace it.
Yes. We’ve been doing wedding flowers and event arrangements in Manhattan for over a century, so we’ve seen just about every venue and setup scenario you can imagine.
For weddings, we start with a consultation to understand your vision, color palette, and budget. Then we design arrangements for the ceremony, reception, bridal party, and any other areas you need covered. We also handle delivery and setup, which matters more than people realize. Getting flowers into a venue at the right time, in the right condition, and set up correctly takes coordination.
We’ve worked with venues across Gramercy Park, Flatiron, and Midtown—from hotel ballrooms to private lofts to historic spaces with tricky logistics. If you’re planning an event and need someone who won’t disappear the day before or show up with wilted centerpieces, that’s what we’re here for.
