For Wassal Seddiqi, founder of Petals and Pearls, wedding planning was never simply about organizing events — it was about honoring stories. Stories of love, family, and the quiet connections that define life’s most meaningful milestones.
“With over 13 years of experience in wedding and event planning, I bring a thoughtful balance of creativity, organization, and genuine care to every celebration I design.”
Her journey into weddings was guided by a natural pull toward celebration and creative expression.
“My journey into wedding planning began with a love for celebrations and a passion for bringing creative elements together in a way that feels intentional and personal.”
But more than aesthetics, it was the emotional dimension of weddings that captured her heart.
“I am deeply inspired by people, their stories, their connections, and the meaningful milestones they choose to celebrate.”
From the earliest conversations to the final moments of the wedding day, Wassal approaches her work with care, empathy, and a profound respect for the significance of the experience.
“Being part of such a significant moment in my clients’ lives is a privilege I never take lightly.”
At the heart of Petals and Pearls lies a simple yet powerful philosophy: weddings should feel authentic, intentional, and deeply personal.
“I believe every wedding should be a true reflection of the couple behind it, thoughtfully curated to honor their personalities, values, and love story.”
Rather than imposing a predefined formula, Wassal listens first — seeking to understand not only what couples want their wedding to look like, but how they want it to feel.
“Everything with intention and love — nothing translates more beautifully than a thoughtful design, calm guidance and genuine connection.”
This emotional clarity becomes the foundation for every decision, every design element, and every experience she creates.
“How a wedding feels is just as important as it looks.”
Through this philosophy, Petals and Pearls creates celebrations that resonate deeply — not only visually, but emotionally.
For Wassal, the most rewarding part of her work lies in transforming emotion into something tangible — an atmosphere, a moment, a memory.
I love being able to turn emotion into experience.
Her role extends beyond planning logistics. She becomes a source of calm, clarity, and support throughout the process.
“I get to celebrate love, family and commitment while helping couples feel supported, calm and truly seen.”
This sense of emotional care is woven into every aspect of her planning approach, ensuring that couples feel grounded and confident as their wedding day unfolds.
Her process is collaborative, detail-driven, and rooted in intention.
“From the first conversation to the final detail on the wedding day, my approach is collaborative, detail-driven, and guided by a desire to create an experience that feels effortless, elevated, and unforgettable.”
Petals and Pearls offers a range of services designed to meet couples wherever they are in their planning journey.
“We offer full planning services, design and day of as well as Day of Management but are happy to customize according to the couples needs.”
This flexibility allows Wassal to create planning experiences that feel supportive rather than overwhelming, tailored specifically to each couple’s priorities and vision.
Whether guiding a wedding from its earliest concept or providing support closer to the celebration, her focus remains consistent: thoughtful guidance and meaningful execution.
Her personalized approach ensures that every celebration reflects the couple authentically.
One of the most valuable roles a planner plays is helping couples align their vision with financial clarity.
At Petals and Pearls, budget planning begins with education, transparency, and thoughtful guidance.
We love to provide wedding education from the start and help set expectations for what certain desired budgets can achieve. <
Through structured planning tools and budget trackers, Wassal ensures couples feel confident and informed throughout the process.
“We use budget trackers to ensure we are on the right path.”
This clarity allows couples to invest intentionally, creating meaningful experiences without unnecessary stress.
With over a decade of experience, Wassal understands that planning a wedding can feel overwhelming without the right support.
Her advice is both simple and powerful.
“A seasoned wedding planner will be your best investment.”
Beyond logistics, she believes in the importance of emotional support, creative trust, and connection.
If she could offer advice to her younger self, it would center on intuition and community.
Always follow your heart and seek guidance and support from your community.
This philosophy continues to guide her work today — shaping a planning experience rooted in empathy, connection, and care.
For Wassal Seddiqi, wedding planning is not simply about producing beautiful events.
It is about creating spaces where love feels visible.
Where emotion becomes atmosphere.
Where every detail reflects something deeply personal.
Through Petals and Pearls, she continues to design weddings defined not by trends, but by meaning.
Because the most unforgettable weddings are not measured by scale or spectacle.
They are remembered by how they made people feel.
