When you need flowers delivered in New York, you’re not just sending blooms—you’re sending a moment. A gesture that says exactly what you mean, when you mean it. Our arrangements arrive fresh, vibrant, and ready to create the impact you’re hoping for.
No more wondering if your flowers will show up wilted or late. No more settling for generic arrangements that look like every other bouquet on the block. You get hand-selected stems arranged by florists who understand that in a city like New York, your flowers need to stand out.
Whether it’s a last-minute apology, a celebration that can’t wait, or a “thinking of you” moment that hits at 2 PM on a Tuesday, your flowers arrive looking exactly like you imagined—maybe better.
Columbia Midtown Florist has been part of Manhattan’s fabric for generations. We’re the family-owned shop that corporate executives trust for client gifts and the florist that busy New Yorkers rely on when they need something perfect delivered today.
Located right in the heart of Midtown—walking distance from Rockefeller Center, Broadway, and Fifth Avenue—we’ve seen this city change, but one thing hasn’t: people still need flowers that make an impression. We’ve built our reputation on understanding exactly what that means.
From Wall Street offices to Upper East Side apartments, from Brooklyn brownstones to Queens celebrations, we’ve delivered to every corner of this city. Our drivers know the shortcuts, the doormen know us, and we know how to get your flowers where they need to be, when they need to be there.
Order online or call us directly—we make both options straightforward. Choose from our curated selection or tell us what you have in mind for a custom arrangement. We source from the finest growers, so whether you want classic roses, exotic orchids, or seasonal favorites, you’re getting stems that were selected for quality and longevity.
Once your order is placed, our florists get to work. Every arrangement is hand-crafted in our Midtown shop, not assembled in some warehouse across the country. We design each bouquet to travel well through New York’s streets and arrive looking exactly as intended.
For same-day delivery, we need your order by early afternoon. Our delivery team knows Manhattan’s rhythms—when to avoid Midtown traffic, which buildings require special coordination, how to ensure your flowers reach their destination fresh and on time. You’ll get confirmation when they’re delivered, so you know your gesture landed exactly as planned.

Every arrangement includes flowers selected the same day they’re delivered. We don’t pre-make bouquets and hope they hold up—each order is crafted fresh, which is why our flowers last longer than what you’ll find elsewhere in the city.
Our orchid collection includes both classic and exotic varieties sourced directly from premium growers. These aren’t the orchids you see in every grocery store—these are the specimens that make people stop and take notice. Perfect for corporate gifts, special occasions, or when you want something that reflects the sophistication of New York itself.
We deliver throughout all five boroughs, with same-day service available for Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Corporate accounts get priority scheduling and volume pricing. Wedding and event services include consultation, setup, and coordination with your other vendors. Sympathy arrangements are handled with extra care and can be delivered directly to funeral homes throughout the city.
We need your order by 2 PM for guaranteed same-day delivery in Manhattan, though we often accommodate later orders depending on delivery location and arrangement complexity. For orders placed after 2 PM, we can usually deliver the next business day.
Our delivery windows run from 10 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday, and 10 AM to 4 PM on weekends. If you have a specific time preference, let us know when you order—we can’t guarantee exact timing, but we’ll work with your schedule whenever possible.
For urgent deliveries or special circumstances, call us directly. We’ve been known to make exceptions for true emergencies, and our location in Midtown means we can often get flowers delivered faster than shops operating from outer boroughs.
Most of our arrangements stay fresh and vibrant for 7-10 days with proper care, significantly longer than typical grocery store flowers or arrangements that sit in warehouses before delivery. The difference comes from sourcing fresh stems and arranging them the same day they’re delivered.
Orchids can last several weeks to months depending on the variety and care. We include care instructions with every orchid delivery, and our team is available to answer questions about extending their life.
Roses, lilies, and mixed bouquets benefit from fresh water every 2-3 days and stems trimmed at an angle. Keep them away from direct sunlight and heat sources—particularly important in Manhattan apartments with radiator heating. We use professional floral preservatives in all arrangements to maximize longevity.
Yes, we deliver throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island, plus select areas of New Jersey. Same-day delivery is available for all five boroughs for orders placed before our cutoff times.
Manhattan deliveries typically arrive within 2-4 hours of ordering. Outer borough deliveries may take 4-6 hours depending on location and traffic. We provide tracking information so you know when to expect delivery.
Some remote areas of the outer boroughs may have additional delivery fees or require next-day service. When you place your order online or over the phone, we’ll confirm delivery availability and timing for your specific address. Corporate accounts with regular deliveries throughout the city get preferred scheduling and route optimization.
Absolutely. Custom arrangements are one of our specialties, whether you need something specific for a corporate event, wedding, or personal celebration. Our florists work with you to create arrangements that match your vision, color preferences, and budget.
For weddings and large events, we offer consultation services to coordinate with your venue and other vendors. We can create everything from bridal bouquets to centerpieces to ceremony installations. Corporate clients often request arrangements that reflect their brand colors or seasonal themes.
Give us at least 24-48 hours notice for custom work, though we can often accommodate same-day requests for simpler arrangements. We’ll discuss your needs, show you options, and ensure the final result exceeds your expectations. Pricing varies based on complexity and flower selection, but we work with budgets from intimate gestures to large-scale events.
Our orchids come directly from premium growers who specialize in exotic and rare varieties—not the mass-market orchids you’ll find in chain stores or supermarkets. We carry both classic Phalaenopsis orchids and more unusual varieties that most New Yorkers have never seen.
Each orchid is selected for health, bloom quality, and longevity. We inspect every plant before delivery to ensure it meets our standards. Many of our orchids are already in bloom with secondary buds ready to open, giving you weeks or months of continuous flowering.
We also provide detailed care instructions specific to each variety and offer ongoing support if you have questions. Corporate clients often choose our orchids for office spaces because they’re low-maintenance, long-lasting, and create a sophisticated atmosphere that reflects well on their business. These aren’t impulse purchases—they’re investments in beauty that pay dividends for months.
We’ve spent years perfecting our delivery process for New York’s unique challenges. Our flowers are arranged the morning of delivery and transported in climate-controlled vehicles that protect them from temperature extremes—crucial during summer heat waves and winter freezes.
Our delivery team knows which buildings have reliable doormen, which offices have specific receiving procedures, and how to navigate Manhattan traffic efficiently. We use specialized packaging that keeps arrangements secure during transport while allowing proper air circulation.
For high-rise deliveries, we coordinate with building management in advance. For outdoor events or locations without reception areas, we time deliveries to minimize exposure to weather. Every arrangement includes water sources and stabilization to ensure flowers arrive in perfect condition, not wilted or damaged from the journey across the city.
