Business Profile: Homewood Florist
Are you looking for the perfect arrangement for your special day? Kyle Arrivo of Homewood Florist tells us about being a longtime staple in the H-F area and why you should pay them a visit!
How long has been in business and why did you choose Homewood as the place to open up shop?
has been here for 51 years! We are second generation and came from the Roseland community. Homewood was a big draw because of its small town charm and because it was a growing community with great potential for the small business owner. A lot of great shops and restaurants were opening at that time. We still love and believe in this community!
What inspires your designs?
So many different things factor into our designs; color, season, nature, trends and of course, the occasion and if it’s themed.
