Hear from Our Customers
You’re not placing an order and hoping for the best. You’re working with a flower shop that sources fresh stems daily and designs arrangements that hold up in real life—not just in staged photos.
When you need same day flowers for a client meeting, an apology that can’t wait, or a birthday you almost forgot, you need a florist who understands that timing isn’t negotiable in this neighborhood. Flatiron moves fast. Your flower delivery should too.
The arrangements leave our shop looking fresh, arrive when we say they will, and last longer than the grocery store bundles that wilt by day three. That’s what you’re paying for—reliability you can count on when it matters.
Columbia Midtown Florist operates right in the heart of Flatiron District, where office buildings, luxury residences, and street-level retail create constant demand for quality flower delivery. We’re not a national chain routing orders through a call center. We’re the flower store that knows which buildings have concierge desks, which offices prefer minimalist arrangements, and which delivery windows actually work in Midtown Manhattan.
Our florists design arrangements for the people who live and work here—corporate clients who need weekly desk flowers, residents sending gifts to dinner party hosts, and anyone who’s learned the hard way that “delivered by 5pm” means different things to different flower shops. We’ve built our reputation on showing up when we say we will, with arrangements that match what you ordered.
You browse our arrangements online or call us directly if you need something custom. If you’re ordering for same day delivery, we’ll confirm the delivery window before you check out—no surprises, no “we’ll try our best” language.
Once your order is placed, our florists start working. We source flowers daily from our suppliers, so what goes into your arrangement was cut recently, not sitting in a cooler for a week. If you’ve ordered a specific design, we follow it. If you’ve requested custom colors or a particular style, we build it to match.
Delivery happens during the window you selected. Our drivers know Flatiron District, so they’re not circling the block confused about building access. If there’s an issue—recipient isn’t available, building is locked, anything unexpected—we contact you immediately to figure it out. You’ll get confirmation when delivery is complete.

Every arrangement includes fresh flowers selected that morning, professional design from trained florists, and same day delivery if you order before our cutoff time. You’re not getting filler-heavy bouquets designed to look big but die fast. You’re getting thoughtfully composed arrangements with focal flowers, supporting blooms, and greenery that balances the design.
For corporate clients in Flatiron District, NY, we offer weekly or monthly arrangements for reception desks, conference rooms, and executive offices. You set the budget and style preferences once, and we handle the rest—rotating seasonal flowers, maintaining consistent quality, and coordinating delivery around your office schedule.
Custom requests work the same way. You tell us the occasion, the recipient’s style, your budget, and any color preferences. We design something specific to that context. If you’re sending flowers to a minimalist Flatiron loft, you’ll get something different than if you’re sending them to a corporate office in a glass tower. Context matters, and our florists adjust accordingly.
Our cutoff time for same day flowers is typically 2pm on weekdays, but it depends on delivery location and current order volume. If you’re ordering after noon, call us directly instead of placing an online order. We’ll tell you immediately whether same day delivery is possible and what time window we can commit to.
Flatiron District deliveries are usually easier to accommodate later in the day compared to outer boroughs, since we’re local to the neighborhood. But on high-demand days—Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, or any Monday after a three-day weekend—our cutoff times move earlier. Don’t assume. Call and confirm.
If we can’t do same day, we’ll offer the earliest available delivery and make sure you know exactly when your flowers will arrive. We’d rather be honest about timing than promise something we can’t deliver.
National websites take your order, charge you a service fee and a delivery fee, then route your order to a local florist who fills it. You’re paying extra for the middleman, and the local florist gets a smaller budget to work with after fees are deducted. That’s why arrangements often look smaller or less impressive than the photos you saw online.
When you order directly from our flower store, your entire payment goes toward flowers and delivery. No middleman. No hidden fees. Our florists design your arrangement based on the full amount you paid, not a discounted wholesale rate after someone else took their cut.
You also get direct communication. If you need to change the delivery address, adjust the card message, or ask about flower types, you’re calling the people who will actually make and deliver your arrangement. That matters when timing is tight or you have specific requests.
Yes, and here’s why. Supermarket flowers are typically cut, shipped to a distribution center, trucked to stores, and displayed under bright lights in fluctuating temperatures. By the time you buy them, they’ve been out of water multiple times and handled by dozens of people. They might look okay at purchase, but they’ve already used up days of their vase life.
We source flowers directly from suppliers who specialize in florist-quality stems—varieties bred for longevity, not just appearance. Our flowers are cut more recently, stored properly in temperature-controlled coolers, and handled by professionals who know how to condition stems for maximum freshness. When we deliver an arrangement, those flowers have days or weeks of life left, not hours.
Proper care on your end matters too. Change the water every two days, keep arrangements away from direct sunlight and heat vents, and trim stems at an angle every few days. Do that, and you’ll get significantly more vase life than grocery store bundles.
Yes. Corporate flower delivery is a significant part of our business in Flatiron District, where office density creates steady demand for professional arrangements. We work with companies that need weekly desk flowers, event installations for client meetings or product launches, and one-time arrangements for celebrations or condolences.
For recurring office arrangements, you set your budget, style preferences, and delivery schedule once. We rotate seasonal flowers, maintain consistent quality and sizing, and deliver on your specified day each week or month. You get invoiced monthly, and you can pause or adjust service anytime with advance notice.
For events, we’ll discuss your space, guest count, color scheme, and overall aesthetic. We can provide centerpieces, entryway arrangements, bar or buffet displays, and any other floral elements your event needs. Lead time depends on event size—small meetings need a few days notice, large installations need a week or more. Call us to discuss specifics, and we’ll walk through options and pricing.
It depends on the building and the situation. If the delivery address has a doorman or concierge, we leave the arrangement with them and confirm delivery with you. If it’s a residential building without a concierge and the recipient doesn’t answer, we’ll try calling them using the phone number you provided at checkout.
If we can’t reach anyone and there’s no safe place to leave flowers, we’ll contact you to discuss options. We can attempt redelivery later that day if timing allows, deliver the next day, or arrange for pickup at our shop. We don’t just leave expensive arrangements in hallways or outside doors where they’ll wilt, get stolen, or get damaged.
This is why accurate delivery information matters. If you’re sending flowers to someone’s office, include the company name and floor number. If you’re sending to a residence, include the apartment number and a phone number where the recipient can actually be reached during delivery hours. The more detail you provide upfront, the smoother delivery goes.
In Flatiron District, quality arrangements typically start around $75-$100 for a standard bouquet with fresh seasonal flowers and professional design. Larger or more elaborate arrangements with premium flowers—garden roses, orchids, peonies when in season—run $150-$300 or more depending on size and flower selection.
You’re paying for fresh flowers, skilled design, and reliable delivery in one of Manhattan’s busiest neighborhoods. Cheaper options exist, but they usually involve older flowers, less experienced design, or delivery services that treat your arrangement like any other package. If the flowers matter—if they’re representing you to a client, apologizing to someone important, or celebrating a milestone—cutting corners usually shows.
We’re transparent about pricing. What you see online or hear quoted on the phone is what you pay. No surprise delivery fees at checkout, no bait-and-switch where the photo shows one thing and you get something smaller. If you have a specific budget, tell us. We’ll design the best possible arrangement within that amount and be honest about what’s realistic.
