It’s not necessarily a chassidishe custom. Many kallahs (and chassanim) shuckle, especially under the chuppah. It’s the same reason we shukle during davening. For the chosson and kallah, the wedding day is like Yom Kippur in that their sins are forgiven. Because of that, they have a special connection to Hashem, and are a conduit for tefillos for refuah, shidduchim, etc., from other people.
Why is the Kalla shuckling?

Mazel Tov!
Because her grandmother did, and hers before that.
Doesn’t look like shukling. She’s bending her body back and forth In.
An eis ratzon. A time to daven. A time for teshuvah.
