First thing you have to do is look at the tags and let us know what kind of fabric it is, so we can give you proper instructions.

Get it professionally done. its not something you can do with a bucket of die and a washing machine at home. at least not easily!

Do you have experience with it or are you basing it off my post? I'm only asking because I didn't get to thoroughly research the material and dying, Thats just info some company offered about how they dye their fabrics.

I think Christichi is right, Nylon is a synthetic fabric and unlike cotton, it will probably repel the dye.
I would not do it at home. Specially black, you might end up with a dirty gray instead.

I think taking them back might be a good idea.... you wouldn't want anything that doesn't look perfect for the big day... there are beautiful though!!
