Is it okay to spray tan over a sunburn?

I have a rather severe sunburn, along with some very noticeable tanlines. I also have a wedding to attend in six days, and the tanlines (from a wide-strapped halter top bikini) are not the same shape as the neckline of the dress I'm wearing to the wedding (wide, shallow V-neck).

I've never been spray-tanning before, but a salon near my house offers it. Can I safely get a spray-tan over my sunburn, will it have any effect on the healing process of the burn, and how many days in advance of the wedding should I get the spray-tan done so I'm not orange or anything like that?

Update:

My biggest concern is that the spray-tanning stuff will react badly on my burned skin (infection or drying it out or something). I'd much rather have awkward tanlines than skin problems, but if I can do this safely, I'd rather have my lines go away.

    i think it will end up being two different colours. have you spoken to the tanning shop about it and see if they think it will react to your skin.

    I would use the cream self tanner...........I use it all the time, plus it is a bonus for moisture for your skin..........Plus you can add a bronzer with that if you'd like.
