Hear from Our Customers
Life in Manhattan doesn’t wait. Anniversaries sneak up. Apologies can’t be postponed. Client meetings need that finishing touch.
When you order flowers for sale from our Times Square location before noon, they arrive the same day. Not “we’ll try our best” delivery. Guaranteed arrival, climate-controlled transport, and someone who actually knows which elevator to take in your building.
You’re not gambling on whether your flowers show up droopy or get left in a hallway somewhere. Every arrangement leaves our shop fresh that morning. Every delivery driver knows Midtown’s buildings, doormen, and security protocols. Your flowers arrive looking exactly like they should, whether they’re going to a corporate office on the 47th floor or a walk-up in Hell’s Kitchen.
Columbia Midtown Florist sits right off Fifth Avenue, across from Rockefeller Plaza. We’ve been serving this neighborhood long enough to know which buildings require ID, which doormen prefer a heads-up call, and which corporate offices need deliveries before 10 a.m.
That local knowledge matters when you’re sending flowers in Times Square, NY. It’s the difference between flowers that arrive on time and flowers that sit in a lobby for three hours. It’s why corporate clients trust us for weekly arrangements and why theater professionals call us when opening night needs to look perfect.
You’re working with a family-owned flower shop that sources fresh blooms daily from New York’s flower district. No middlemen. No wilted roses shipped from across the country. Just fresh flowers, local expertise, and delivery that actually works in this city.
You place your order online or call our shop directly. Tell us what you need, when you need it, and where it’s going. If you’re not sure what to send, we’ll ask a few questions and point you toward something that fits.
We design your arrangement that morning using flowers sourced fresh from the district. Everything’s arranged by hand, checked for quality, and packed for climate-controlled delivery. No sitting around in a warehouse. No getting tossed in a hot truck.
Our delivery driver heads out with your flowers protected at the right temperature. They know the building, they know the protocol, and they confirm delivery so you’re not left wondering. If there’s an issue, you hear about it immediately, not three days later when someone finally notices flowers in a mailroom.
For same-day delivery in Times Square, order before noon. For everywhere else in Manhattan, we’ll tell you upfront what’s possible. No surprises.
Ready to get started?
You can order single arrangements for personal delivery or set up weekly service for your office. We handle corporate accounts that need fresh flowers every Monday morning, wedding flowers for venues across the city, and sympathy arrangements delivered to any hospital in Manhattan.
Times Square and Midtown have specific demands. Theater openings need arrangements that hold up under stage lights. Corporate lobbies need designs that look sharp all week, not just on delivery day. Luxury hotels expect a certain standard, and their concierge teams know which flower shops actually deliver it.
We work with movie and television productions when they need period-appropriate flowers or arrangements that won’t wilt under hot set lights. We deliver to New York-Presbyterian, Mount Sinai, NYU Langone, and other hospitals where timing and presentation matter. And we handle last-minute orders for people who forgot Valentine’s Day until 11 a.m.
The flower delivery near you isn’t just about getting flowers to a door. It’s about understanding what different situations require and making sure your arrangement fits the moment, whether that’s a boardroom, a hospital room, or someone’s apartment after a really bad argument.
You’re getting the arrangement itself, same-day delivery within our service area, and a card with your message. The flowers are designed that morning using fresh blooms from New York’s flower district, arranged by hand, and delivered in climate-controlled vehicles.
What you’re not getting: mystery substitutions without your approval, flowers that were designed three days ago, or delivery drivers who don’t know the difference between a service entrance and a loading dock. If we need to substitute a flower because of availability, we call you first. If your recipient’s building has specific delivery requirements, we already know them or we find out before we show up.
The price you see includes delivery within Midtown Manhattan. If you’re sending flowers outside our standard delivery zone, we’ll tell you upfront whether it’s possible and what it costs. No surprise fees at checkout.
Yes, if you order before noon. After noon, it depends on where the flowers are going and what else is on the delivery schedule that day.
Same-day flower delivery in Times Square and the surrounding Midtown area is straightforward because we’re located right here. We’re not coordinating with a national call center or waiting for a third-party courier to pick up your order. Our delivery drivers leave directly from our shop, and they’re making multiple stops in the same neighborhood.
For deliveries outside Midtown, same-day is still possible but less guaranteed. If you call us at 11:45 a.m. and need flowers in Brooklyn by 2 p.m., we’ll be honest about whether that’s realistic. Most of the time, if you’re ordering in the morning for delivery anywhere in Manhattan, you’re fine. If you’re ordering at 4 p.m. for delivery to the Upper East Side, we’ll tell you what’s actually possible instead of taking your money and hoping for the best.
You’re seeing photos of our actual arrangements, not stock images from a catalog. What we photograph is what we design. If you order the “romantic rose arrangement,” you’re getting roses that look like the ones in the photo, arranged in a similar style.
Flowers are a natural product, so exact replication isn’t possible. A rose in June looks different from a rose in February. But the overall style, color palette, and size of the arrangement match what you ordered. If a specific flower isn’t available, we contact you before substituting.
The bigger quality question is freshness. Flowers sourced daily from the New York flower district and arranged that morning last longer than flowers that were designed days ago and shipped across the country. You’re not getting blooms that were sitting in a warehouse or a refrigerated truck for 72 hours. They’re cut, arranged, and delivered within the same day, which is why arrangements from a local flower shop in Times Square typically outlast what you’d get from a national delivery service.
It depends on where we’re delivering. For residential buildings with a doorman, we leave the flowers with the front desk and confirm delivery with you. For office buildings, we deliver to reception or the mail room, depending on building policy.
For residential addresses without a doorman, we attempt contact by phone or buzzer. If nobody answers, our driver calls you to ask how you want to handle it. Some people tell us to leave the flowers at the door. Others prefer we bring them back to the shop for redelivery the next day. We don’t just leave expensive flowers sitting in a hallway without confirming that’s what you want.
This is where local knowledge matters. We know which buildings in Times Square and Midtown Manhattan allow lobby deliveries and which require direct handoff. We know which corporate offices accept flower deliveries at the security desk and which ones require an escort upstairs. When you’re using a florist near you who actually operates in this neighborhood, these details are already handled.
Yes. We deliver to New York-Presbyterian, Mount Sinai, NYU Langone, and other hospitals throughout Manhattan. Hospital deliveries have specific requirements that differ from standard residential or corporate deliveries.
Most hospitals don’t allow latex balloons, certain types of lilies, or strongly scented flowers in patient rooms. Some hospitals require deliveries to go through a specific entrance or be dropped at a volunteer desk rather than delivered directly to rooms. We know these protocols because we make hospital deliveries regularly.
When you order flowers for hospital delivery, tell us the patient’s full name and room number if you have it. If you don’t have the room number, the hospital can usually locate the patient by name, but it speeds up delivery if we have complete information. For same-day hospital delivery, order before noon. Hospitals have more restricted delivery windows than office buildings, and we need time to coordinate with their receiving procedures.
