Hey bride-to-be,
So you're getting married! Congratulations!
Perhaps you've picked out your dress, decided on a venue, and put down a deposit for your photographer—but you're not sure what the groom should wear.
That's where we come in! From exquisitely tailored suits to stylish accessories, we've got your groom's outfit covered. We've done this many times before and will ensure everything is perfect

Seriously. Why go to countless suit shops and end up buying a wedding suit for $800+ (not to mention, you’d still have to take it to a tailor and spend another $200 to make sure it fits well.)
Instead, 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 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.

THE MERLAI PROCESS
STEP ONE: YOUR WEDDING STYLE CONSULTATION
WHEN? 12-18 months before your wedding
We help you both get crystal clear on what your groom 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 fiancé’s measurements and get his suit made from scratch so it's a perfect fit.
If he needs extra stylist savvy, we also can iron out the small but important details like his shirt colour and fabric & whether he wears a tie or bow tie (or no tie)—bringing the whole look together. We can even create custom-made shoes to match his suit.
STEP THREE: YOU RETURN FOR YOUR FINAL FITTING(S)
WHEN? 6 WEEKS BEFORE YOUR WEDDING
Your fiancé comes back to try on his freshly-stitched suit and make sure it fits perfectly.
If he’s worried about losing/gaining weight in the run-up to the big day, he can come back for a second and final fitting a few weeks later, no problem.
So his suit 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 big day, even with adjustments. We can’t be fairer than that!
Take the first step to the suit of your dreams.
What happens in your 60-minute Wedding Style Consultation?
You and your partner will book a date to visit our Brisbane showroom for your 1:1 appointment, and 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.
Together, the three of us will collaborate to create a vision of how your groom should look on the big day—using colour analysis and body shape theory to choose the perfect fabrics, cuts, colours, and textures that will suit him and complement your wedding. 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 leave both feeling confident.
Finally, we’ll try on some sample suits to make sure you’re comfortable with the kind of styles we’re suggesting.
Once you’ve got a plan of action for your groom’s suit, there's no obligation to work with us afterward. You'll gain valuable insights even if you choose to shop elsewhere—since the free consultation is a mini-masterclass on how to dress well on your big day.
