Hear from Our Customers
Most flower shops work with distributors who warehouse inventory for days before it ships. By the time you get it, those roses have been in a box longer than they’ll last in your vase.
We drive to the NYC Flower District each morning and hand-select what’s actually fresh. Your order gets designed the same day you place it. That’s why the colors stay vibrant and the petals hold their shape past the weekend.
When you need flowers delivered in Hudson Yards today, we’re not scrambling to make it happen. Same-day is just how we operate. Orders placed by noon arrive that afternoon. No upcharges. No “express fees.” It’s built into what we do because we know how Manhattan works—anniversaries sneak up, apologies can’t wait, and sometimes you just realize you need flowers today.
Columbia Midtown Florist has been serving Hudson Yards and the surrounding Midtown neighborhoods for years. We’re not a national chain with a local storefront. We’re a flower shop that operates in Manhattan because we understand how this city moves.
Our drivers know which buildings at Hudson Yards require scheduled appointments and which doormen prefer a heads-up call. They navigate lunch-hour traffic without missing delivery windows. When you’re sending flowers to 30 Hudson Yards or 10 Hudson Yards, that building-specific knowledge matters.
The professionals working at BlackRock, KKR, and Wells Fargo use us for client gifts and corporate arrangements because we deliver what we promise, when we promise it. No surprises. No excuses. Just reliable service from people who live and work in the same neighborhood you do.
Every morning, we head to the NYC Flower District on 28th Street. That’s where the city’s florists go to source inventory—not from catalogs or warehouses, but from vendors selling fresh-cut flowers that arrived overnight from growers.
We select what looks best that day. Roses with tight buds that’ll open over the next few days. Lilies with strong stems. Hydrangeas with full, vibrant heads. If something doesn’t look right, we don’t buy it. Simple as that.
Once we’re back at the shop, our designers start working through orders. When you place an order online or call us, we’re designing it that same day with the flowers we picked up that morning. You’re getting an arrangement made specifically for you—not something that’s been sitting in a cooler since Tuesday.
For delivery, our team handles the logistics. We know Hudson Yards. We know the buildings, the security protocols, the loading dock schedules. Your arrangement gets delivered on time, in good condition, without the recipient having to chase down a package or deal with a missed delivery notice. It just arrives.

When you order from our flower store, you’re getting same-day delivery across Hudson Yards and Midtown Manhattan for orders placed by noon. That includes corporate offices, residential buildings, hotels, and event spaces.
We handle everything from single bouquets to large corporate installations. If you’re a business in Hudson Yards that needs weekly arrangements for your lobby or conference rooms, we set up a standing order and handle it without requiring follow-up from your team. The flowers show up on schedule. You don’t think about it.
For personal orders, you can customize your arrangement. If you know the recipient loves peonies or can’t stand carnations, tell us. If the delivery is an apology and needs to feel more substantial, we’ll adjust accordingly. Our designers work with your specific situation—not a one-size-fits-all template.
We also coordinate directly with funeral homes and event venues across Manhattan. For weddings, we do full consultations, work with your venue’s setup requirements, and deliver everything on schedule. For sympathy arrangements, we handle the logistics with the funeral home so you don’t have to manage those details during a difficult time.
Hudson Yards has specific delivery challenges that most flower delivery services don’t account for. Buildings like 15 Hudson Yards and 35 Hudson Yards have strict security and visitor protocols. Our drivers already know the process. They have the right contacts. Your delivery doesn’t get stuck at the front desk because someone didn’t call ahead.
Noon is the cutoff for same-day delivery in Hudson Yards. Orders placed after that get delivered the next business day.
That timing works because we design arrangements in the order they come in. Morning orders get completed first and go out for early afternoon delivery. Orders that come in closer to noon get designed and delivered later that afternoon.
If you’re past the cutoff and genuinely need something delivered today, call us directly. Depending on our schedule and your delivery location, we might be able to accommodate it. But we can’t guarantee it, and we won’t promise something we can’t deliver. If it’s not realistic, we’ll tell you upfront and get it scheduled for first thing tomorrow instead.
Because we source them fresh each morning and design your arrangement the same day you order it. Most online flower delivery services use a fulfillment model—they take your order, send it to a regional warehouse, and ship a pre-made arrangement that’s been sitting in storage.
By the time that arrangement gets to you, those flowers have been cut for a week or more. They might look fine when they arrive, but they don’t have much life left. That’s why they wilt within three days.
Our flowers get cut, arrive at the Flower District, get selected by us, and then go into your arrangement—all within a 24-hour window. You’re getting blooms that are actually fresh, not just packaged to look fresh. That’s the difference between flowers that last three days and flowers that last over a week.
Yes. We deliver to 10 Hudson Yards, 30 Hudson Yards, 50 Hudson Yards, 55 Hudson Yards, and all the other major office towers in the neighborhood regularly.
Our drivers know the building protocols. Some require delivery appointments scheduled in advance. Some have specific loading dock hours. Some need the recipient to come down to the lobby, while others allow deliveries directly to the office floor.
We handle that coordination. When you place an order, just give us the building address and the recipient’s company name. We’ll take care of the rest. If there’s an issue—like the building requires the recipient to approve the delivery in advance—we’ll contact you so you can give them a heads-up. But most of the time, it just gets delivered without any extra steps on your end.
Yes. We work with businesses across Hudson Yards that want fresh flowers in their lobby, conference rooms, or reception areas on a recurring schedule.
You tell us what you’re looking for—specific colors, arrangement style, size, budget—and we design something that fits. Then we deliver on the same day each week and swap out the old arrangement when we drop off the new one. You don’t have to manage it or remember to reorder.
If you’re hosting a client meeting or event and want something more substantial that week, just let us know in advance and we’ll adjust. If you’re going to be closed for a holiday, we pause the delivery and pick back up the following week. It’s flexible, but it runs automatically unless you tell us otherwise.
For office deliveries in Hudson Yards, we leave the arrangement with the front desk or reception if the recipient isn’t available. Most office buildings have a process for this, and we follow whatever protocol that specific building uses.
For residential deliveries, it depends on the building. Doorman buildings usually accept the delivery and notify the resident. Buildings without a doorman require someone to be home, or we’ll contact you to reschedule.
If there’s a specific delivery issue—like the building won’t accept packages or the recipient is out of town—we’ll reach out to you directly. We’re not going to just leave flowers sitting in a hallway or mark it as delivered when it wasn’t. We’ll figure out a solution that actually works, whether that’s rescheduling, delivering to a different address, or coordinating a specific time when someone will be available.
