Hear from Our Customers
You’re not looking for a flower shop that makes you jump through hoops. You need flowers that show up on time, look the way they should, and don’t require three follow-up calls to confirm delivery.
That’s what happens when you order from a local Midtown florist who’s been doing this long enough to know how Manhattan works. Our drivers understand building protocols. They know which doormen need what information. They’ve delivered to the office towers around Rockefeller Plaza enough times to make it look easy.
Every arrangement gets made fresh the same day it goes out. We source flowers each morning from the NYC Flower District, so what you’re sending isn’t sitting in a cooler from last week. It’s designed in our shop at 3 West 51st Street, packed properly, and delivered in climate-controlled vehicles that keep everything intact—even when it’s 90 degrees or sleeting.
Columbia Midtown Florist has been serving Manhattan for years as a family-owned business. We’re not a national chain shipping flowers from three states away. We’re a local flower shop in Midtown that sources locally, designs in-house, and delivers ourselves.
Our location puts us steps from Fifth Avenue and Rockefeller Center, which means we can get flowers to Midtown East, Midtown West, the Theater District, and surrounding neighborhoods faster than florists operating from outside Manhattan. That matters when someone needs an apology delivered by 3 p.m. or forgot an anniversary that’s happening tonight.
You’re working with florists who understand what busy New Yorkers actually need: reliability, quality, and zero runaround.
You place an order online or call our shop directly. If you need something custom or have specific requests, we’ll talk through what makes sense for the occasion and your budget.
We source fresh flowers every morning from the NYC Flower District. Once your order comes in, our florists design your arrangement that same day—no pre-made boxes, no flowers that have been sitting around. Everything is hand-crafted in our Midtown shop.
When it’s ready, our delivery team loads it into a climate-controlled vehicle. They know Manhattan. They know how to navigate building security, coordinate with doormen, and handle tight delivery windows. If there’s an issue with access, they’ll contact the recipient or building management directly to make it work.
You get confirmation when the flowers are delivered. If something goes wrong, you hear from us—not an automated email three hours later.

We handle same-day and next-day flower delivery throughout Midtown Manhattan and the surrounding boroughs. That includes residential buildings, office towers, hospitals, hotels, and event venues. If you’re sending flowers to a corporate office near Grand Central or an apartment in Midtown West, we’ve done it before.
For corporate clients, we offer weekly delivery service. Your lobby or conference room stays fresh without you having to think about it. We show up on schedule, swap out arrangements, and leave before anyone notices we were there.
Wedding and event services include full consultation, custom design, venue coordination, setup, and delivery. We work with venues across NYC and create arrangements that photograph well and hold up through long events. You’re not getting cookie-cutter designs from a catalog—you’re getting flowers that match what you actually want.
Custom requests are welcome. We have access to seasonal and specialty flowers through our relationships in the NYC Flower District, and we can turn around custom arrangements same-day if you need them. Orchids, exotic blooms, specific color palettes—if it’s available, we’ll source it.
Yes. We’re located at 3 West 51st Street in the heart of Midtown, which gives us a significant advantage over florists operating from outside Manhattan.
When you order by early afternoon, we can usually deliver same-day across Midtown East, Midtown West, and surrounding neighborhoods. Our drivers know the area, they know building protocols, and they’re not trying to figure out Manhattan traffic for the first time.
That said, same-day delivery depends on when you order and where it’s going. If you’re cutting it close or need flowers delivered to a building with complicated security, call us directly. We’ll tell you straight whether we can make it happen or if next-day is more realistic.
Every arrangement is made fresh in our shop the same day it’s delivered. We’re not shipping pre-packed boxes from a warehouse in another state. We source flowers each morning from the NYC Flower District, design them in-house, and deliver them ourselves.
You’re also working with experienced florists who’ve been doing this long enough to know what holds up and what doesn’t. We’re not going to send out something that’s going to wilt by the time it arrives or look nothing like what you ordered.
If something goes wrong—if an arrangement doesn’t meet your expectations or arrives damaged—we’ll fix it. That’s easier to do when you’re working with a local flower shop that’s accountable to the neighborhood, not a call center three time zones away.
Our drivers have delivered to enough Manhattan buildings to know how this works. If there’s a doorman, they’ll leave the flowers with them and get confirmation. If building security requires coordination with the recipient, they’ll handle that.
In cases where access is restricted and the recipient isn’t available, our driver will contact them directly to arrange a time or leave the flowers in a secure location if that’s an option. We don’t just leave flowers on a sidewalk and hope for the best.
If there’s a known issue with a building—strict security, no doorman, complicated access—let us know when you order. We can plan around it or contact the building ahead of time to make sure delivery goes smoothly.
We deliver throughout Manhattan and the other boroughs. Midtown is our home base, so deliveries to Midtown East, Midtown West, and the Theater District are fastest. But we regularly deliver to the Upper East Side, Upper West Side, downtown neighborhoods, Brooklyn, Queens, and beyond.
Delivery time depends on distance and traffic. If you’re sending flowers to an outer borough or a neighborhood farther from Midtown, it may take longer than a delivery to Rockefeller Center. Same-day is still possible in most cases if you order early enough.
If you’re not sure whether we can deliver to a specific address or need a tight delivery window outside Midtown, call us. We’ll tell you what’s realistic based on where it’s going and when you need it there.
Custom requests are welcome. If you have a specific color palette, flower type, or style in mind, we can design something that matches what you’re looking for.
We source flowers daily from the NYC Flower District, so we have access to seasonal blooms, specialty flowers, and varieties that aren’t always listed on the website. If you want something specific—orchids, peonies, a particular shade of rose—we can usually get it, especially if you give us a day’s notice.
Same-day custom arrangements are possible depending on what you’re asking for and when you order. If it’s a last-minute request for something elaborate, we’ll let you know if it’s doable or suggest an alternative that gets you close to what you want. Call the shop directly if you’re going custom—it’s faster than trying to communicate through an online form.
