Frequently Asked Questions

Are Petals products real or artificial?

All of our lifelike floral products featured on Petals.com are artificial.

Are your flowers really silk?

Although artificial flowers and plants are commonly referred to as “silk”, the materials used to design our lifelike silk flower arrangements and artificial plants vary by style and cover a wide range of materials such as various fabrics, synthetic and poly-resin materials.

How are your arrangements and plants packaged?

We pride ourselves on ensuring that your product will arrive in perfect condition ready for immediate enjoyment. We expertly package every item using our proprietary packaging methods to not only prevent damage but also so that you just open the box and place the item in the intended location.

How are your arrangements and plants shipped?

The majority of our items are shipped via premium shipping carriers such as FED EX and UPS. Large orders going to commercial addresses may required delivery by a LTL Freight carrier.  In most cases we can arrange to have the freight carrier call you a day or so in advance to schedule the delivery.

What is the clear substance in the bottom of the vases?

Many of our silk floral designs are created using our special "crystal clear acrylic water" which creates the illusion of fresh cut stems in water.
