Traditional Korean weddings are lengthy consisting of proper bride and groom party visitations, official gift giving ceremonies, tea ceremonies, and more! It's a very long process from beginning to end, but the Paebaek ceremony has been gaining popularity as a fun addition to modern Westernized weddings.
Paebaek is a ceremony steeped in Korean tradition where the groom’s family formally accepts the bride into their home. It symbolizes the bride's paying respects to the groom’s family. It is a private ceremony closed to the public.
Today, Paebaek is a fun ceremony that the brides' and the grooms' families take part in. Some couples like to incorporate it into their reception to have guests involved as spectators of this fun ceremony.

Some Paebaek clients choose to wear just hanbok for the Paebaek Ceremony. There are also clients who only rent the Paebaek outfits and prepare the table setting and props themselves. A memorable client was a couple with two grooms who wanted to customize the Paebaek ceremony to fit their wedding theme.
