Salaam Mustafa.
You havent provided any information here, so its quite difficult to advise you appropriately. What do you mean by unsure of her religion? You mean not close to Islam? Or not sure which religion she follows. If she does not what she believes then she is not lawful for a Muslim man as Muslim men can only marry Muslim women (ideally) or women from the people of book (Christian/Jewish.) If he marries an atheist or a women from another religious group the nikah would not be valid and it would be as if he is commiting zina.
So please do clarify what you mean here.
As for what she should wear, of course the Islamic dress is covering all of the body except the face and hands (and some scholars say feet.) If she does not wear hijab then at the very minimum she should cover her arms and legs, and not wear tight clothing. There are plenty of beautiful suits suitable to wear at a wedding which cover the arms and the body and are not tight. Lenghas, Jilbaabs (nice ones), Jelaabas, Asian trouser suits (if the trousers are wide - they usually are) etc.
More importantly it is if the wedding is done Islamically - it should be segregated wedding. Ideally she should wear a cover while travelling so that no one sees her beautiful wedding outfit. But if she is unwilling, do not force her as there is no compulsion in religion. At the very minimum her body should be well covered.
Please comment and give more details so we can advise you better.

Asalaamualaykum, Brother,
The question that is more important than your bride's choice of dress is this:
'What spiritual state of mind and heart are you in and what is the state of your relationship with Allah(swt), if you are ready to marry a woman who is unsure of her religion?'
