Hey bride-to-be (or groom-to-be!),

So you're getting married! Congratulations!

Perhaps you've picked out “The Dress”, decided on a venue, put down a deposit for your photographer—and you’ve even decided what your bridesmaids are wearing.

But you two still aren’t sure what your partner’s groomsmen are going to wear.

Or perhaps you have a Mr-of-Honour or a Best Man you need to dress instead!

Either way, this is where we come in. From exquisitely-tailored suits to stylish accessories, we've got your wedding party’s outfits covered.

We've done this many times before and will ensure everything is perfect.

BEFORE MERLAI STYLING & TAILORING


  • You aren’t sure how to style the groomsmen to fit your wedding "vibe" + complement your bouquet colours, venue and bridesmaid dresses.

AFTER MERLAI STYLING & TAILORING


  • You know exactly what fabrics, textures, colours and accessories will work for the groomsmen suits to match your wedding aesthetic, venue, groom, wedding dress AND bridesmaids.
  • When you look back on your wedding photos, the groomsmen just don’t look good compared to your bridesmaids—they’re in boring, ill-fitting suits that don’t complement your aesthetic.
  • You’ve an album full of wedding photos you love to look back on because everyone looks great. And everyone in your wedding party looks like they’re going to the same wedding in photos—the look is cohesive and complementary.
  • You think made to measure groomsmen suits are out of your budget.
  • You get made-to-measure groomsmen suits for the same price as one you can buy off the rack.

Bruno is the best tailor in Brisbane, hands down. I have purchased 2 different suits from him and he always nails it. He’s also taken good care of my friends.

I cannot recommend Bruno from Merlai highly enough. A true master of his craft! He will not let you leave the store until you are 100% satisfied. This truly was an experience I will treasure for the rest of my life. Thank you for everything, Bruno!

This was my first time getting a custom suit made for myself. I was anxious at first but Bruno made the process feel simple and enjoyable. I recommend Merlai to anyone looking for their next suit. I won’t be buying off the rack again after going to Bruno. Let’s book in the next appointment ASAP

I am in love with my gorgeous custom made suit created by Merlai. Beautiful piece made with high quality Italian fabrics and design. Highly recommended. Excellent work Bruno!

Bruno worked wonders and got us looking sharp for our big day! We walked in with no guidance for him to work on, other than we didn't want a Tuxedo, and through spending time getting to know us really zoned in on what we wanted. The sessions with Bruno were always fun, relaxed, and usually involved a tipple or two. The quality of the garments were awesome, and the shoes were so comfy, even though we were on our feet all night - including the dance floor. We got jackets, shirts, trousers, shoes and belts for both of us, and don't regret any of the purchases. Look forward to wearing them over and over again! Will definitely use Bruno again.

I came to Bruno with what I thought was a reasonably difficult request: a suit matching the specific blue/people colour of a bridesmaid's dress. He was able to accommodate this no problems, and found an exact match as well as multiple very close ones. He enthusiastically guided me through all of the customisation options, which has resulted in an excellent suit which fit perfectly the first time! I would definitely recommend Merlai, and will be back for any future needs.

Bruno has been been consistently excellent and dependable throughout the suit process! Hits the perfect sweet spot between incredibly professional and warm and friendly. This man is exactly who you want as a tailor, nothing is impossible for him, from custom made shoes and belts to suits of any kind. Bruno always makes feel like you’re in good hands.

Why Italian Suits And Tailoring

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.

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 in 10 years as it does on your wedding day.

If you’re all about your wedding party looking sharp, and feeling cool, Italian suits are your go-to.

THE MERLAI PROCESS

STEP ONE: YOUR WEDDING STYLE CONSULTATION

WHEN? 6 months before your wedding

We help you both get crystal clear on what your wedding party could wear for your big day. 

There’s no obligation from this consult. The one thing we ask is that you've got your wedding dress style and your venue down—and a firm idea of bridesmaid dresses. 

(If you need help with your grooms’ suit, we can do that too!)

WORTH $497, YOURS FOR FREE

STEP TWO: WE TAKE YOUR GROOMSMEN’S MEASUREMENTS

WHEN? 3 MONTHS BEFORE YOUR WEDDING

We'll take your groomsmen/Mr of Honour/wedding party’s measurements and get their suits made from scratch.

We can also help you and your partner iron out the small but important details like shirt colour and fabric and whether they’ll wear a tie or bow tie (or no tie).  

If some of your wedding party is abroad? We can work around that too, getting measurements over Zoom.

STEP THREE: EACH GROOMSMEN COMES IN FOR THEIR FINAL FITTING(S)

WHEN? 6 WEEKS BEFORE YOUR WEDDING

Your groomsmen come in to try on their suits and make sure they fit perfectly.

(If anyone is worried about losing/gaining weight in the run-up to the big day, they can come back for a second and final fitting a few weeks later, no problem!)

 

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 SUITS UP TO PAR FOR NO EXTRA COST. Plus, we’ll work with you to guarantee they’re ready in time for your big day, even with adjustments. We can’t be fairer than that!

What happens in your 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.

Merlai Drinks

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.

Merlai Custom
Then, together, the three of us will collaborate to create a vision of how your groomsmen (or your Best Man or Mr-of-Honour) could look on the big day. 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 in your suit choices.

Merlai Suits

Finally, once we’ve put together some recommendations that take into account all of that, and your budget—we’ll get the groom to try on some sample suits to make sure you’re comfortable with the kind of styles we’re suggesting.

Merlai Lightbulb
Once you’ve got a plan of action for your groomsmen suits, 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 personalised mini-masterclass on how to dress your wedding party well.

Made in Shanghai with locally-sourced fabrics (with all the benefits of Italian tailoring DNA - great for groomsmen)

Starting at $1,445

Why go to countless suit shops and end up buying suits for $800+ a piece (plus, you’d still have to take it to a tailor and spend another $200 per suit to make sure it fits each person well.)

Instead, get made-to-measure suits that complement your bridesmaid dresses and are tailored to your wedding “aesthetic”.  So the entire “look” is cool and cohesive. Every suit fits perfectly. And every photo looks fantastic.
