I hit a similar problem when going to my brother's wedding in Thailand. The rules were:
1) Absolutely no black 2) Nothing low-cut (where "low-cut", by this definition, exposed collarbone)
I didn't go shopping in time, and when it came time to pack, I discovered these two rules had eliminated my entire wardrobe.
My answer was to bring multiple dresses, wave them at my mother, and say "I DON'T KNOW, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO WEAR."
I think (based on your description of the wardrobe) I'd wear a shawl or a scarf over a sundress. But the alternate solution is just to get dressed in two alternate outfits, photo yourself, and send it to whichever member of the couple you know better, along with a note that says "I want to make absolutely sure that I fit in at your wedding! Tell me, which do you prefer?"
