My dtr had planned a big wedding for 7-7-07. Now she has changed her mind and wants to get married around x-mas. These dresses are baha coral and banana. Does anyone know if I can dye them to a red or totally take the color out to go to a beige or cream. I am just not sure what I am suppose to do with 900.00 in dresses that will not go with a x-mas wedding. Any ideas?

I just thought I was suppose to buy the dresses. Davids said no returns.

Don't dye them, use as is. Coordinate with deep red or burgundy with the flowers and decorations, and they will be fine. Why in the world were you paying for these, anyway??

Wow, my mom bought all the bridesmaids dresses also, and if I decided to change my mind, it would be my problem not hers. You're awfully kind and generous to be giving this the time of day. If David's can't do anything about it, tell her to deal with it. I'm sure you can do something with the colors.
You probably shouldn't risk dying them yourself, get a professional to do it. That may get pricey though so do you want to spend even more on top of the 900.00? Also, it may not even look right, if there is alot of extra stuff to the dresses. Which dress is it?

How nice that you would buy the bridesmaid dresses....I've been in 7 weddings and never had the luxury of not having to pay for my own!
You can call David's to see if you can return them, given the circumstances. I definately would not try to die them, because since the base color is 2 different colors, you'd end up with dresses that didn't match regardless. If all else fails, try to sell them on ebay.

I presume you're not able to return the dresses to David's even for store credit...
You could check with the store to ask them if they know of anyone who can dye the dresses. I think you'd be nuts to go buy RIT and try it yourself.
You could tell your daughter she's going to have to plan her wedding around that coral/banana color scheme... Maybe a consult with an interior designer or florist would help with some ideas on how to do that.
Good luck!

Wow your daughter is incredibly selfish and rude and you're letting her get away with it. You very generously bought all of the bridesmaids dresses and now she expects you to change them? I say she's having a coral and yellow wedding regardless of the time of year.

Have you gotten them altered or anything? If not, you should be able to go back to David's Bridal and exchange them or order different color dresses. If you can't, depending on the material of the dress, you may possibly be able to dye it yourself. Good Luck!!

your daughter chose those colours & it should NOT matter as to what time of year the wedding is\ look at putting different coloured accents with the dresses - maybe green/dark red sashes if the styles will adapt to that.
rather selfish of your daughter to expect you to spend more money on new dresses & FOOLISH of you to agree to it
why not go ofr a summer themed wedding in the middle of your winter - would cheer things up & be individual

ahhh...daughters...shoot this is a tough one. don't suppose there is any chance davids would take them back? or at least give fair credit towards the new batch...? probably not but it never hurts to ask.
not to be too hard here, but maybe you just need to tell her that the plans are too far in motion to change...tough toenails...or you could insist that she eat the cost of the dresses...i know easier said than done. maybe you need to let her know that it is her problem, not yours. why did yo have to pay for them all in the first place?....just wondering...good luck.

ha yea, sell them on ebay... acually, it would be cool if ur daughter did a location wedding thingy where she went somewhere tropical maybe for her wedding. this usually works if you arent planning on having a huge wedding. then your daughter can have a little reception/tea for all the people who didnt come after the honeymoon at home. my parents did this and they thought it worked very well.

Your daughter picked it. She should bear the burden of problem and expense.
I say stick with the original color scheme.
