About

Third-generation family business in Elkins Park, PA offering handcrafted silk hanbok, rentals, and paebaek services

🍵 Editorial Take

You can rent or buy a hanbok from plenty of places, but what you can’t get from those places is the mother-daughter duo of Jeoung and Jessica. BDK MINT is the kind of family business where the value is as much in the guidance as the garment: they’ll take your ideas, understand the occasion and your personality, and refine the details so the end result feels distinctly yours.

Founded in Daegu in 1954 and established in the U.S. in 1985, BDK MINT is a third-generation, women-owned family business. Their hanbok are still handmade in their Philadelphia shop, with both custom 100% silk pieces and rentals available. Their work has earned WeddingWire Couples’ Choice awards and Best of Philly recognition, and has also been featured in an exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. They’re fully bilingual in English and Korean, and out-of-state couples consistently praise how smooth the process is, from virtual consultations and measurements to shipping and returns. They’re also known for coming through on rush orders when plans change unexpectedly.

BDK MINT's paebaek service is where the personal touch really comes through. Packages can include hanbok rentals, the ceremonial table and backdrop, setup and breakdown, music, and emceeing. Jessica guides couples through each step while explaining the meaning behind the traditions, which helps non-Korean guests feel included rather than like spectators. As a result, couples often say their paebaek ends up being one of the most memorable parts of the wedding. One multicultural bride was especially touched by how enthusiastically BDK MINT embraced her celebration. They gracefully adapted the paebaek setup to a venue more accustomed to South Asian events and even suggested K-pop songs for the DJ. That kind of thoughtfulness shows up again and again in reviews: couples feel supported not just in getting the traditions “right,” but in making them feel natural and personal to their wedding.

If you want Korean wedding traditions to feel polished, personal, and inclusive of everyone, BDK MINT is a standout choice.
