It's a major cost for many new couples, but federal MP Tim Wilson didn't have to dip into his pocket for wedding outfits.

The Liberal MP for Goldstein has declared on his pecuniary interest register two suits, four shirts and two pairs of chinos for him and his partner Ryan Bolger.

The clothes were provided by InStitchu, which began in 2011 as the brainchild of James Wakefield and Robin McGowan who left lucrative investment careers to go into customised high-quality clothing.

Mr Wilson also declared a wedding present of 18 bottles of custom celebratory gin from Four Pillars distillery in Victoria's Yarra Valley.
