Hear from Our Customers
You’ve probably been burned before. Ordered flowers online, paid good money, and watched someone open a box of disappointment. Stems already browning. Arrangement nothing like the photo. Delivery three hours late.
That’s not what happens here. When you order flowers for sale from Columbia Midtown Florist in Inwood, you’re getting blooms hand-selected that morning from trusted growers. You’re getting same day delivery when you need it. You’re getting arrangements that look like what you saw online—because we’re the ones designing and delivering them, not some third-party service two states away.
If you’re ordering for a birthday at 10am, those flowers arrive fresh that afternoon. If you forgot an anniversary, we’ve got you covered before dinner. No excuses, no “we tried our best” emails. Just reliable flower delivery that doesn’t make you look bad.
Columbia Midtown Florist has been serving the Inwood community and greater Manhattan with fresh flower arrangements for years. We’re not a national chain pretending to be local. We’re not an aggregator site that farms your order out to whoever’s cheapest.
We’re a flower store that sources directly from growers, designs every arrangement in-house, and delivers it ourselves. That means when you call, you’re talking to someone who actually knows flowers. When you order, you’re supporting a business that’s part of this neighborhood. And when your flowers arrive in Inwood, they’re coming from people who care whether you’re happy with them.
Ordering flowers for sale shouldn’t feel complicated. You browse our selection online and pick an arrangement that fits the occasion and your budget. We’ve got everything from classic roses to mixed seasonal bouquets, sympathy arrangements to celebratory designs.
Once you place your order, our florists get to work. We hand-select the freshest stems available that day—no sitting in a warehouse for a week before they ship. We design your arrangement to match what you saw online, wrap it properly, and get it ready for delivery.
For same day flowers, we’ll deliver to Inwood and surrounding areas as long as you order before our cutoff time. You’ll get updates along the way so you know exactly when your flowers arrive. If you want delivery at a specific time, just let us know in the order notes and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
That’s it. No hidden fees, no bait-and-switch, no wondering if your flowers will show up. Just straightforward flower delivery from a local flower shop that knows what we’re doing.
Ready to get started?
Whether you’re celebrating, apologizing, mourning, or just thinking of someone, we’ve got flowers for sale that fit. Birthday arrangements with bright, cheerful blooms. Anniversary roses that don’t look like they came from a gas station. Sympathy flowers designed with care and respect, not just thrown together.
In Inwood, people order flowers for all kinds of reasons. Corporate gifts for Manhattan offices. Get-well bouquets for hospital deliveries. Holiday arrangements for Thanksgiving and Christmas tables. Weekly flower subscriptions for residents who want fresh blooms in their apartments every week.
We also handle custom requests. If you’ve got specific colors in mind, favorite flowers, or a particular style you’re after, our florists can design something tailored to what you need. That’s the advantage of working with a real flower store instead of clicking through a corporate catalog.
The flowers themselves come from trusted growers around the world. We’re talking tulips, lilies, orchids, succulents, seasonal stems—whatever’s freshest and most vibrant. And because we source directly, you’re getting better quality than the big-box sites that prioritize cheap over good.
For same day delivery in Inwood, NY, you’ll want to place your order as early as possible—ideally before noon. That gives our florists time to hand-select your flowers, design the arrangement, and get it delivered the same day.
If you’re ordering later in the day, call us directly. Depending on our delivery schedule, we might still be able to accommodate same day delivery. But the earlier you order, the more flexibility we have with timing.
Keep in mind that during major holidays like Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and Christmas, we recommend ordering at least a few days in advance. Those are our busiest times, and while we do our best to handle last-minute requests, advance orders guarantee you’ll get exactly what you want.
Because we’re a local florist designing and delivering everything ourselves, what you see online is what you get. We’re not outsourcing your order to some random flower shop three towns over. We’re not substituting cheaper flowers to save money.
That said, flowers are natural products. Occasionally, a specific bloom might not be available due to seasonality or supply issues. If that happens, we’ll substitute with something of equal or higher value that matches the style and color palette you ordered. We’re not downgrading your arrangement—we’re making sure it still looks great.
If you’re concerned about specific flowers or colors, add a note to your order or call us. We’ll let you know what’s available and work with you to create something you’ll be happy with. The goal is that when your recipient opens the door, they see flowers that match your expectations, not some sad compromise.
Yes. While we specialize in flower delivery to Inwood, we deliver throughout Manhattan and surrounding areas. That includes Midtown, Upper Manhattan, downtown neighborhoods, and nearby boroughs depending on the delivery schedule.
When you place your order online, you’ll enter the delivery address and we’ll confirm whether we can deliver there the same day. Most Manhattan locations are no problem. If you’re sending flowers to an office building, hospital, or residential address in the city, we’ve got you covered.
Delivery fees vary based on location and distance, but we’re transparent about costs upfront. You’ll see the total price before you complete your order—no surprise charges at checkout. And if you’re not sure whether we deliver to a specific area, just call us. We’ll let you know right away.
We’ll do our best to accommodate specific delivery time requests, but we can’t guarantee exact windows. Our delivery schedule depends on the volume of orders that day and the route our drivers are taking through Inwood and Manhattan.
That said, if you have a specific need—like delivering birthday flowers before someone leaves for work, or getting an arrangement to an office by a certain meeting time—let us know in the order notes. We’ll prioritize your request and communicate with you if there are any issues.
For most deliveries, we aim for a general timeframe (morning, afternoon, or evening) rather than a specific hour. If timing is critical, call us directly when you place the order. We can give you a better sense of what’s realistic and work with you to make it happen.
We carry a wide variety of fresh flowers depending on what’s in season and available from our growers. You’ll find classic options like roses, tulips, lilies, and carnations. We also stock more unique blooms like orchids, peonies when they’re in season, and mixed arrangements with seasonal stems.
If you’re looking for something specific, check our online selection or give us a call. Our inventory changes based on availability, but we work with trusted suppliers to ensure we always have fresh, high-quality options. We’re not limited to a fixed catalog—if there’s a particular flower or color you want and we can source it, we’ll make it happen.
Beyond cut flowers, we also offer orchid plants, succulents, and other options that last longer than traditional bouquets. Great for people who want something low-maintenance or a gift that keeps giving beyond a week.
Our flowers are hand-selected the day of your order or the day before at most. We’re not pulling from inventory that’s been sitting in a cooler for two weeks. We’re sourcing directly from growers and selecting the freshest stems available.
That’s one of the advantages of working with a local flower shop instead of a national chain or online aggregator. Those companies often ship flowers from distribution centers where blooms have been in transit for days. By the time they reach you, they’ve already lost half their lifespan.
When you order from Columbia Midtown Florist, you’re getting flowers that were cut recently, handled properly, and arranged fresh. That means they last longer once they’re delivered. With proper care—fresh water, trimmed stems, cool location away from direct sunlight—your flowers should stay vibrant for a week or more, depending on the variety.
