Hey groom-to-be,
You're getting married! Congratulations!
Perhaps your fiancée has picked out her dress (not that you’ve seen it!), you two have decided on a venue, and you’ve even put down a deposit for your wedding photographer—but at this point in the planning process, you haven’t a clue what YOU are going to wear.
This is NOT the kind of occasion to leave it to the last minute. Unless you want an ill-fitting suit that comes up short next to your partners’ beautiful dress at the altar and in photos.
Well, that’s where we come in! From exquisitely tailored Italian suits to high-quality accessories at competitive pieces, we've styled and attired grooms many times before and will ensure everything is perfect. (Without blowing out your wedding budget.)
Three options to choose from
ARTISAN
Made in a family-owned, third generation Italian boutique factory with luxurious Italian fabrics. (The best of the best.)
Starting at $2,995
$2,245
GRADUATE
Made in Shanghai with
luxurious Italian fabrics.

Come see us at Merlai and get a sharp suit that is tailored to you and your wedding “aesthetic”.
So you, and your photos, look great.

Why Italian-style suits & tailoring?
Fabric-wise, Italian suits are incredibly lightweight to suit the balmy Italian summer—so they’re just what you need for the sunny Australian climate. (No sweating at the altar here—chances are you’ll be nervous enough!--or being forced into a shirts-and-suspenders-only situation!)
Fit-wise, Italian suits are highly tailored and fit close to the body—giving that dapper and dashing look. They're way cooler (literally and figuratively) than boxy American-style suits, and they're way less rigid and stiff than British-style suits.
Think: Effortlessly stylish. And a timeless design that’ll look just as good on your 10th wedding anniversary as it does on your wedding day.
If you care about looking sharp, and feeling cool, Italian suits are your go-to.

BEFORE MERLAI STYLING & TAILORING
- You’re overwhelmed by (or maybe just over) all the decisions you need to make about what to wear for your wedding—what style suit, what colour, do jacket and trousers have to match, what shirt, what tie, do you need a vest…the list of Qs is long! (But also, this is a high-stakes occasion to “wing it”)
AFTER MERLAI STYLING & TAILORING
- You know what fabrics, textures, colours and combinations will look GREAT, suit your wedding aesthetic AND your body shape and skin-tone. In fact, your suit fits like a glove, is styled beautifully, and makes you look your best..
- You’re worried about being the centre of attention on the big day.
- Your suit fills you with confidence in front of your partner, the photographer, and all your guests.
- You think that a made-to-measure suit is out of your budget. (Chances are, it’s not—and if you’re spending so much on a photographer, why have a sub-par suit?!)
- You get a high-quality, made-to-measure suit for a similar price as one you’ll get off the rack. One you can wear again and again.
- You cringe internally when you look back at your wedding photos because your wedding day outfit just doesn’t look right—especially compared to your bride’s beautiful dress.
- You’ve an album full of wedding photos you love two to look back on because you both look good—and feel good—and you can see it in the shots.
- You’re dreading hiking around countless suit shops alone or with your partner or mates—one more confusing than the other.
- You’ve turned that stressful, headache-inducing suit-shopping experience into one that makes you feel like a king. (Our client’s words, not ours!)

THE MERLAI PROCESS
STEP ONE: YOUR WEDDING STYLE CONSULTATION
WHEN? 12-18 months before your wedding
We help you and your partner get crystal clear on what you could wear for your big day.
There’s no obligation from this consultation. The one thing we ask is that your fiancée has her wedding dress style sorted, and you’ve chosen your venue—otherwise, we recommend booking a Wedding Style Consultation further down the track.
WORTH $497, YOURS FOR FREE
STEP TWO: WE TAKE YOUR MEASUREMENTS
WHEN? 3 MONTHS BEFORE YOUR WEDDING
We'll take your measurements and get your suit made from scratch so it's a perfect fit.
At this session, we can also help you iron out the small but important details like your shirt colour and fabric, whether you wear a tie or bow tie (or no tie). We can even create custom-made shoes to match your suit.
STEP THREE: YOU RETURN FOR YOUR FINAL FITTING(S)
WHEN? 6 WEEKS BEFORE YOUR WEDDING
You come back to try on your new suit and make sure it fits perfectly.
You can either take the suit home there and then, or we can make additional alterations. And if you’re worried about losing weight in the run-up to the big day, you can come back for a second and final fitting a few weeks later, no problem.
So your look is nothing short of spot-on.
HAPPINESS GUARANTEED
We’re so confident that if you’re not 100% satisfied with the quality of our styling and tailoring, WE’LL GET YOUR SUIT UP TO PAR FOR NO EXTRA COST. Plus, we’ll work with you to guarantee it’s ready in time for your wedding day, even with adjustments. We can’t be fairer than that!
Take the first step to walking down the aisle in cool Italian style…
What happens in your 60-minute Wedding Style Consultation?
You and your fiancée will book a date to visit our Brisbane showroom for your 1:1 appointment—and you’ll have the whole place to yourself when you do.
We’ll sit down and talk with both you and your partner about your wedding plans, her dress, bouquet colours, and venue—looking at any Pinterest boards she’s created!—while sipping on delicious Italian drinks like amaretto, and limoncello.
The three of us will collaborate to create a vision of how your suit could look on the big day—using colour analysis and body shape theory to help choose the perfect fabrics, cuts, colours, and textures. Rest assured, we’ll give you the Italian treatment, which means we’ll be very honest about what looks good, and what won’t— so you both leave feeling confident.
With a vision in mind, we’ll try on some sample suits, so you can see how you feel in the kind of style and fabric we’re suggesting.
Once you’ve got a plan of action for your suit, there's no obligation to buy your suit from us afterwards (though a lot of people do). Think of it this way: You'll gain valuable insights even if you choose to shop elsewhere—since the wedding style consultation is a mini-masterclass on how to dress well on your big day.
