Arabs usually wear Western clothing to formal ocassions. If you wore an abaya, no one would think anything of it, but you might feel out of place. If you have a nice skirt and blouse or a formal-ish dress that would do. At Pali weddings, the only women wearing abayas are the older ladies (like grandmas).

Hope that helps

yeah Ive never seen arabs wearing abaya's or jilbabs to weddings...unless its in the masjid.
