Use black and white decorations with clean and simple designs. White or clear balloons work very well here (See "Balloons Galore" theme for more ideas). Tie them with white or silver ribbon. Choose one other color to add interest in flower arrangements, but use sparingly. Black and white should dominate.
White roses and white carnations.
Rent silver candelabras to place on tables. Use long, white taper candles.
Pure white table cloths, white plates, white napkins. Get your names printed on the napkins in black or silver. Choose clear or white utensils. Let the food or striking centerpiece supply the color.
