  I knew someone who brought it to a dry-cleaner to have this done.  You could call some and see if they do same day service.  She lives in Rochester and had it done so I can't recommend the place she went...but there is many dry cleaners up in the cities to try.

  I agree call around to any tailors or dry cleaners in the area you are looking at. I would think you could schedule same day service. Otherwise you can try to do it yourself with an iron. On my wedding day my MIL steamed my dress out after we came back from pictures. She used a regular steam iron and just put a pillow under the dress and held the steam up to it.

  Also the seamstress I used suggested after steaming if you pack the dress nicely in a sheet or plastic bag then into a garment bag it wouldn't wrinkle as easily. I never did confirm this however, I just kept my hanging the whole time.

  She could do it herself w/an inexpensive travel steamer like this... I actually used something like this on my own dress the night before my wedding.

  I suggest Karen at Wedding Gown Care Specialist in New Hope

  Or a dry cleaner, but do not take it to Falconer's Dry Cleaning.  They ruined my silk wedding dress through impropery cleaning methods: cleaned it in water, tumbled it, pressed it and used the wrong chemical, which turned it yellow.
