First of all, I would recommend you talk about that with your friend. It's her wedding and it's better to dress "for her". If she wants to be casual, you just need to dress up a bit and no need to dress in special dress. If she think you could dress up a bit more, then you could ask her about what color would be better and good for her. It's her wedding, and you are her bride's maid, you would be standing besides her all the time. therefore, you would be showed up in most of her photos, then it could be a good reason to ask your friend.
As your friend is not going to have a banquet, you better ask her if she would have other chinese tradition on the same date, such as the groom would pick up the bride and play games at the door? will they deliver TEA for the elders? .....etc.
If none of those needs to do, you just need to take care of her all the time. Make sure she is pretty and make sure she is happy.
Regarding your friend's own question in the supplimentary, sending big gifts should be down about 2 weeks to a month before the chinese wedding date. In terms of chinese, her mom's right, it should be done when you want to have the chinese traditional things to be done. Therefore, it would be done about a month before the wedding banquet date. If your friend will not do any chinese thing and/or wedding banquet, there would be no need to do that. Since she is not formally married in terms of chinese tradition.
for your very last sentence, you may mix up with the deliver tea and sending big gift. anyway, no matter what kind of tradition, the final call should be from their parent. Different family may have different tradtion, no right or wrong, just be happy would be the main point.
