I am from Pakistan but weddings are almost same in both countries and cultures apart from religious ceremonies. I can say that weddings in Asian people are very colorful. If you are white (as you said) then try wearing Indian/Pakistani dress (Shalwar Kammez). People really like that specifically when worn by white woman. I know that as my own wife is white English.
Yes one more things, usually Asian wedding ceremonies are not bang on time. 8 means 10 sometime so don't be there before even the family has arrived.
I hope it would help.

I went to a Sikh wedding a few years ago and I was advised to keep my head covered during the ceremony. It may have been shoulders aswell, but can't remember. I know that all the white British women there had brought scarves or shawls to wear during the service. I didn't wear Indian/Pakistani dress, just what I would call 'normal' wedding wear and Mr Spudqueen wore a suit.
