Last reviewed: August 11, 2026. Stella's Bridal & Evening Collections is an active Winnipeg boutique at 516 Portage Ave. For couples searching for wedding dresses Winnipeg, the official site identifies it as a retailer serving brides, bridesmaids, mothers and formalwear shoppers, with appointment and fitting-related support available.

The confirmed official website describes a long-established bridal and eveningwear business that opened on Corydon Avenue in 1982 and moved to Portage Avenue in 2005. Its documented wedding focus includes bridal gowns, bridesmaid and mother-of-the-bride/mother-of-the-groom attire, accessories, alterations, bridal dressing, and post-wedding dress cleaning.

Services and specialization

Stella's Bridal sells designer wedding gowns and also carries bridesmaid dresses, mother-of-the-bride and mother-of-the-groom dresses, grad dresses, eveningwear and accessories. Its bridal pages identify Maggie Sottero, Rebecca Ingram, Sottero and Midgley, Stella York, and Modest by Mon Cheri among its wedding-dress collections. The bridesmaids and mothers section lists Watters & Wtoo, Dessy, Sorella Vita, Montage and Cameron Blake.

The business also documents dress alterations, bridal dressing, and wedding-dress cleaning, steaming and repair services. This can be relevant for shoppers who want dress selection and subsequent garment support through one Winnipeg retailer. The official website recommends appointments for personalised service, while saying walk-ins may be accommodated if space permits.

Service area and who it may suit

The confirmed location is 516 Portage Ave, Winnipeg, MB R3C 0G2, directly across from the University of Winnipeg according to the business's About Us page. The official site consistently presents the boutique as serving Winnipeg brides and grads; it does not publish a broader travel or delivery service area, so one should not be assumed.

This may suit Winnipeg-area couples who want to shop in person for a wedding gown and may also be coordinating bridesmaid or parent attire. It may also suit shoppers interested in a sample dress: the business operates an online sample-sale shop for designer samples and discontinued dresses. Availability, sizing and current inventory should be confirmed directly because sample stock can change.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is the range of dress-related support. Alongside bridal gowns, Stella's identifies bridesmaids' and mothers' collections, accessories, alterations, bridal dressing, and post-wedding cleaning. Its About Us page describes a 5,000-square-foot boutique, and its official history places the business in Winnipeg since 1982.

Published pages do not establish what is in stock on a particular date, whether a specific designer, size, colour or sample is available, or how long alterations will take. The reviewed official pages also do not confirm appointment lead times, alteration turnaround, size availability across every collection, or whether cleaning and repair services are limited to garments purchased at the boutique. These are practical points to confirm before visiting.

Confirmed: appointments are recommended; walk-ins depend on available space.
Confirm directly: desired designer, current sample stock, sizes and fitting timeline.
Confirm directly: eligibility, timing and scope for alterations, cleaning, steaming or repairs.

Pricing

Current pricing is not explicitly published for regular bridal gowns or the full bridal, bridesmaid, mother, accessory, alteration or bridal-dressing ranges. Request a quote or appointment discussion for those purchases and services.

The official wedding-dress cleaning page does publish service figures: Standard Cleaning is listed at $125 and Premium Cleaning at $275. It also lists a garment bag at $45, veil cleaning at $25 to $125, and repairs as TBD. The online sample shop displays individual sale prices, but these are item-specific and may change as dresses sell; they are not a general price list for new wedding gowns.

Published cleaning figures: Standard $125; Premium $275.
Published options: garment bag $45; veil cleaning $25–$125; repairs TBD.
Sample-sale listings are individual products, not a general price list.
