Hear from Our Customers
You’ve seen it before. You order flowers online, and what shows up looks nothing like the picture. Or they arrive wilted. Or they don’t arrive at all.
That’s not how this works. When you order from us, you’re working with a local flower shop that sources fresh blooms, arranges them by hand, and delivers them the same day. No shipping delays. No mass-produced arrangements that sat in a warehouse for three days.
You get flowers that look like you paid attention. Flowers that last. Flowers that make the person receiving them feel like you actually cared enough to send something real.
Columbia Midtown Florist isn’t a call center or a website that forwards your order to whoever’s available. We’re a local flower shop serving Inwood, NY and the surrounding areas with the kind of service you’d expect from people who actually live and work here.
Inwood has a strong sense of community, and that’s exactly how we approach every order. Whether you’re sending birthday flowers to a friend in Washington Heights, sympathy arrangements to a family in Riverdale, or celebrating an anniversary right here in the neighborhood, we treat your order like it’s our own.
You can call us. You can stop by. You can ask questions and get real answers from people who know flowers—not a script.
Here’s how it works. You tell us what you need—birthday flowers, roses for an anniversary, something for a funeral, or just because. If you’re not sure, we’ll help you figure it out. We’re not here to upsell you on add-ons you don’t need.
Once you place your order, we source fresh blooms and hand-arrange your bouquet or arrangement. No shortcuts. No filler. Just flowers that look intentional and last longer than a couple of days.
Then we deliver. Same-day delivery is available throughout Inwood, NY when you order by noon. We hand-deliver your flowers—no shipping boxes, no sitting on a truck in the heat. You’ll know when they’re out for delivery, and you’ll know when they arrive.
That’s it. No hidden fees. No bait-and-switch at checkout. Just straightforward flower delivery from a local florist who’s been doing this long enough to know what matters.
Ready to get started?
When you order from us, you’re getting flowers that were cut fresh, not sitting in a cooler for a week. We work with local suppliers whenever possible, which means your flowers haven’t traveled across the country before arriving in Inwood.
Every arrangement is made by hand. That means a real florist is selecting stems, arranging them with care, and making sure everything looks right before it goes out the door. You’re not getting a pre-made bouquet pulled from a shelf.
Delivery is included in Inwood and nearby neighborhoods. We deliver to homes, offices, hospitals, funeral homes—wherever you need flowers to go. If you need them delivered at a specific time, let us know and we’ll do our best to make it happen.
We also handle custom orders for weddings, events, and corporate clients. If you need something specific—certain colors, certain flowers, a particular style—we can work with you to create exactly what you’re looking for. Inwood has a mix of cultures and traditions, and we’ve worked with enough families and businesses here to understand that one size doesn’t fit all.
Yes. If you order by noon, we can deliver your flowers the same day throughout Inwood and nearby areas like Washington Heights and Riverdale.
Same-day delivery matters when you’re sending flowers for a birthday you almost forgot, a last-minute apology, or sympathy arrangements that need to arrive quickly. We keep our delivery schedule tight so we can accommodate those orders without sacrificing quality.
If you’re ordering after noon, we can usually deliver the next day. Either way, we’ll let you know exactly when to expect delivery so there’s no guessing.
We carry a rotating selection based on what’s fresh and in season. That typically includes roses, lilies, tulips, hydrangeas, orchids, sunflowers, carnations, and mixed bouquets.
If you’re looking for something specific—like a particular color rose or a flower that’s not commonly stocked—let us know in advance and we’ll do our best to source it. We work with suppliers who can get us specialty blooms when needed, but it helps to have a little lead time.
Seasonal availability affects what we have on hand, which is actually a good thing. Flowers that are in season are fresher, last longer, and look better than flowers that have been shipped from halfway around the world.
Absolutely. If you have specific colors, flowers, or a style in mind, we can create a custom arrangement for you.
Some customers know exactly what they want—certain flowers, certain colors, a specific vase. Others just know the occasion and trust us to put something together that works. Either way is fine.
Custom arrangements are especially popular for weddings, corporate events, and milestone celebrations where you want the flowers to match a theme or color palette. We’ll walk you through options, show you what’s available, and create something that fits your vision and budget.
Delivery fees depend on the location and timing, but we’re transparent about costs upfront. You’ll see the delivery fee before you complete your order—no surprises at checkout.
For most deliveries within Inwood, the fee is minimal because we’re local and the distance is short. If you’re sending flowers to a neighboring area like Riverdale or Washington Heights, the fee might be slightly higher, but we’ll let you know before you commit.
We don’t believe in hidden fees or jacking up delivery costs at the last second. What you see is what you pay. If you have questions about delivery costs for a specific address, call us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
If a specific flower isn’t available, we’ll contact you before making any substitutions. We’re not going to swap out your roses for carnations without asking.
Flower availability changes based on season, supply, and demand—especially around holidays like Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day. If we don’t have exactly what you ordered, we’ll suggest alternatives that are similar in style, color, and value.
Most customers appreciate the heads-up. It’s better to know upfront than to have someone receive flowers that don’t match what you thought you were sending. We’ll work with you to find a solution that still makes the arrangement special.
Yes. We deliver sympathy arrangements to funeral homes, churches, and private residences throughout Inwood and surrounding areas.
Sympathy flowers require a different level of care and timing. Families are dealing with enough stress without worrying about whether the flowers will arrive on time or look appropriate. We handle these orders with extra attention to make sure everything is delivered when and where it needs to be.
If you’re not sure what type of arrangement is appropriate, we can guide you. Some families prefer traditional standing sprays, while others want something more personal like a basket or vase arrangement. We’ll help you choose something that honors the person and fits the occasion.
