Islam's holy book does not dictate anything about wearing what for wedding, but for female dressing is observed.
For note in your not, I'm sure or at least worried about other's reaction regarding your questions in the post later. Though being a muslim I have my own thoughts and reservations, I guess I can't say anything regarding your decision, since in any sense you both made up your decision firmly with resolve. I have my respect and congrats for both of you. But should you observe any replies negatively about certain Islam rules and requirements from others, do not take it hard :) How is the response from your family and his' anyway?
our families are happy with the arrangement, they both can see how much we love eachother and respect eachothers faith and so have no issues with our being together.
If u really want something different and unique, i can arrange something for you. Like design your weding dress to suit both cultures...What about your husband-to-be? Didi he say what he wants?

i remember my aunt's wedding. she's catholic and her husband is indian muslim. for her evening gown, she custom made a sari in chinese silk.
really, there's no saying what you MUST wear. as long as both of you are comfortable but there must be compromise. although his parents seem to be really really open-minded, maybe you might like to check with them whether their side of the family would have any reservations about you revealing too much skin.
or you can just do what i'm doing. i'm of peranakan-chinese descent and my fiance is malay, we decided to have a little bit of chinese, little western, little peranakan but the bulk of it still ties in with the malay influences.
the trick is to just have fun. =)
gd luck.
