My fiance is muslim, I however do plan to officially convert, however my family being buddist, may not be accepting if I wear a hijab, they don't want me to convert, but i'm going to practice it in my home so they can't be offended. However, at the mosque they might get offended if I wear the hijab for my nikka....what do I do, do I wear a hijab with my bridal attire, or do I wear a hijab... please help...thanx!

You shouldn't wear Hijab on ur wedding day...
Muslim men who are not Mahram usually don't come in... n the guy who reads the Khutba usually stands behind a door or a wall... so the bride would be at ease and enjoys her wedding day...
Wear ur wedding gown and veil... I did... n so did everyone I know...

Well if you're getting married at a mosque, why are you afraid of offending anyone attending? If anyone's going to be offended, they'll be offended for being at a mosque, not for what you're wearing. Besides, it's YOUR day sis!
Check out some of these:

Edit:
Feel like a dufus! Lol! Didn't realize you were not a Muslim (yet?). But I still feel that if they are going to get offended (which is doubtful because all the Buddhists I've met are quite tolerant) then they will be more offended about being in a mosque than you wearing hijab. It's all up to you and what you want to do. If you feel like you should wear it, don't let anyone stop you. Likewise if you feel you don't want to wear it, don't let anyone force you.
Good luck and a thousand congrats!!! :-D

Its really not necessary to wear Hijab on your Nikkah. You simply go with your modest bridal attire. Plus its not that Buddhists dont hate Hijab or anything. In your case, your parents must be concious of every act and step you taking.
And what a combination Islam and Buddhism.
Good Luck.

I don't know where you're from, that's why I will state this. It all depends if you are officially married when you'll meet your man or not yet? Here in the Gulf, men go to the (Mulla) and sign the Nikka Contract (the husband & bride's guardian), then the man meets his wife in the ceremony, in thios case it is ok not to wear hijab, coz he is already your husband. But if not, you cannot remove the hijab till you are officially his wife.

WoW...
Congratulation for your wedding (Barakallahu lakum)
You can wear western bridal veil, but you have to choose your wedding gown and veil that can cover the part of your body that should be covered.
Islam would not forbid all type of clothes but clothes should cover part of body that should be covered (aurat)

Are non-Muslims even allowed into a Mosque? I'm really not sure they are allowed to be at the ceremony anyway.
Edit: Don't listen to me? I said I wasn't sure, it wasn't a statement, it was a question. I had heard before that non-Muslims are not allowed into Mosques Though I have seen one non-Muslim in an Islamic center, she wore hijab and stayed away from the prayer area.
