Will the powder sugar melt if I dust them the day before I want to serve the cake?

That depends on how humid your home is. If it is very dry in your area, dusting the cake with powdered sugar a day ahead of serving it should be fine. If the air feels even the slightest bit damp, you should wait until just before it's time to serve the cake. Happy baking!
In my experience it will melt and be sticky.
Here's an idea, though- If you put a paper doily on the cakes before you dust them and remove it afterward (carefully) it will make a doily pattern on the cake.
