Hear from Our Customers
You need flowers that show up fresh and stay beautiful for days, not arrangements that wilt by evening or embarrass you with poor quality.
We cut flowers fresh every morning and design arrangements that hold up in New York’s climate. Our florists understand which varieties work best for Lower East Side apartments and offices, creating arrangements that look professional and last a full week with proper care.
Your flowers arrive exactly when promised, looking like the arrangements you see in the photos. Recipients get something worth displaying prominently, not hiding in a corner because it looks cheap or is already drooping.
Columbia Midtown Florist has served Lower East Side residents, restaurants, and businesses for years. We know which flowers thrive in NYC apartments, which arrangements work in small spaces, and how to navigate complex building deliveries from Houston Street to the Brooklyn Bridge.
Our flower store sources premium blooms daily from trusted wholesale markets. Every arrangement is hand-designed by our experienced local florists who understand the difference between a stunning $60 bouquet and $60 worth of grocery store flowers thrown together.
You’re working with florists who live in the city and understand neighborhood preferences, not a distant call center coordinating with random local shops they’ve never met.
Place your order online through our website or call to speak directly with a florist about your needs. Describe your occasion, budget, and delivery timeline. We recommend arrangements based on what’s freshest and what works best for your specific situation.
Your flowers are cut and arranged the same day for delivery throughout the Lower East Side. Same-day orders placed before 2 PM reach most addresses within 4-6 hours, including apartment buildings, offices, and local restaurants.
Our delivery drivers know the neighborhood and building procedures for smooth drop-offs. You receive confirmation when flowers are delivered, plus photos if the recipient isn’t available to accept them personally.

Columbia Midtown Florist handles everything from simple birthday bouquets to elaborate wedding centerpieces and sympathy arrangements. Our flower shop specializes in designs that work well in Lower East Side venues, from intimate restaurant celebrations to larger events at local hotels.
Popular services include corporate flowers for business openings and meetings, sympathy arrangements for area funeral homes, and wedding work for couples celebrating at venues like The Bowery Hotel, local restaurants, or private loft spaces throughout the neighborhood.
Same-day flowers reach every address in the Lower East Side, with delivery drivers experienced in high-rise buildings, walk-ups, and commercial spaces. We coordinate with doormen and building staff to ensure your flowers reach the right person at the right time.
Orders placed before 2 PM typically qualify for same-day delivery to Lower East Side addresses. After 2 PM, delivery happens the next business day unless you’re ordering a simple arrangement for a location very close to our flower store.
The exact cutoff depends on your delivery address and arrangement complexity. Standard bouquets have more flexibility than elaborate custom designs that require additional preparation time.
Call us directly if you have an urgent request after the cutoff time. We can sometimes accommodate emergency orders for hospitals, funeral homes, or critical business situations in the immediate area.
Columbia Midtown Florist cuts flowers fresh daily and creates arrangements in our local flower shop. Online services often use flowers that have been warehoused for days or shipped long distances, arriving already past their prime.
We select specific varieties based on freshness and what holds up best in New York’s climate. Online services use whatever’s cheapest or most readily available, regardless of quality or how long the flowers will last.
You also communicate directly with the florists creating your arrangement. No middleman trying to interpret your needs to a random local shop they’ve never worked with before.
Yes, Columbia Midtown Florist delivers to all Lower East Side apartment buildings, including luxury high-rises with doormen and older walk-up buildings without elevators.
Our delivery drivers know building procedures and work with doormen to ensure flowers reach the correct apartment. For buildings without doormen, drivers call or text recipients to coordinate the handoff directly.
If recipients aren’t available, flowers can be left with building staff or trusted neighbors based on your instructions and building policies. You receive photo confirmation showing exactly where flowers were delivered.
Simple bouquets for birthdays or everyday occasions start around $35-45. Romantic arrangements for anniversaries or special gestures typically range from $60-85, depending on flower types and arrangement size.
Sympathy flowers range from $75-150 depending on the style and size needed. Wedding flowers vary significantly based on guest count and design complexity, while corporate arrangements for offices or events usually start around $50-75 per piece.
We provide exact pricing upfront with no hidden fees or surprise charges at delivery. You can always adjust arrangement size or flower selection to meet your budget while still receiving something impressive.
Columbia Midtown Florist guarantees fresh flowers that last at least 5-7 days with proper care. If arrangements arrive damaged or wilt within 48 hours, we replace them at no charge.
Document any issues with photos and call us immediately. We will send a replacement arrangement the same day or provide a full refund, depending on your preference and timing needs.
This rarely occurs because flowers are cut fresh daily and arrangements are designed for safe transport. When problems do happen, we resolve them quickly without requiring you to prove the issue or jump through complicated procedures.
Yes, Columbia Midtown Florist specializes in custom floral work for weddings, corporate events, and special celebrations throughout the Lower East Side. We work with you to create arrangements matching your vision and venue requirements.
Wedding services include bridal bouquets, centerpieces, ceremony arrangements, and boutonnières designed for your specific venue and style preferences. Corporate work covers lobby displays, conference arrangements, grand opening flowers, and special event pieces.
Custom orders require advance notice – typically 3-5 days for wedding work and 24-48 hours for smaller custom pieces. We provide detailed quotes and design consultations to ensure final arrangements exceed your expectations.
