Celebrating your Korean heritage in modern style

폐백 “한국 다도” 서비스

The paebaek (pyebaek) ceremony is one of the most significant and cherished traditions in a traditional Korean wedding, symbolizing the bride’s official entrance into her husband’s family and the union of both families. Often enjoyed by guests, it takes place after the main wedding ceremony and includes meaningful rituals such as formal bowing, a Korean tea ceremony, and a playful game where the couple catches chestnuts and dates. Historically, the bride would move into her husband’s home, becoming a permanent part of his family, which is why the ceremony traditionally involved only the groom’s family, the groom, and the bride. In modern times, the paebaek ceremony has become more inclusive, with the bride’s family often participating and many couples choosing to hold it during the post-wedding cocktail hour, blending it into the overall celebration. Once a private affair for just the bride, groom, and groom’s family, the paebaek is now commonly shared with all wedding guests, making it a memorable and meaningful part of modern Korean weddings. This beautiful tradition underscores the importance of family and cultural heritage, offering a meaningful way to honor the union of two families.
