Have an all-white reception (a high level bit of a traditionalist) - linen, napkins, chairs ... but make use of your flowers to provide pops of color.

Maybe a colorful tiara?

Put your bridesmaids in white, but provide them with brightly colored, dazzling bouquets - plus they don't all have to be exactly the same shades either. Mix blues, reds, oranges, and yellows in various posets.

Wear jewel-colored wedding shoes having a traditional white sage green bridesmaid dresses.

Or if you do not want to stay with one accent color, consider ombre effects - in which you use a graduated version of exactly the same color. Maybe in the most delicate lilac shade right down to a deep purple. You can do exactly the same with pinks, reds, oranges, and greens

Remember when you introduce accent colors to some largely white wedding, you'll end up getting better photographs and videos because it gives the photographer something to pay attention to.
