I generally would use a smokey eye for a wedding... I'd go for something natural but glamorous. Just my personal preference. But if she likes a smokey you can definitely do it. Check out a tutorial on YouTube for how to apply a smokey eye for hooded eyes.

Wedding should be timeless and years later when you look back at wedding photo's you don't want your makeup to look too overdone. I would stick to something neutral. Because she has small eyes, darker colours can make them appear smaller. I will post some pictures for inspiration.

Thank you so much girls. and thanks shauna for the pictures!! so I should focus on putting darker color on the outer part instead of darker color on the lids & blending it with lighter color?

I would. A lighter colour on the lid gives the illusion of a bigger eye. As you can see in the 3rd picture I posted, having a darker colour on the outer v elongates the eye. Also using a nude or white eyeliner in the waterline will also make the eyes appear larger.
