The following worked very well for me when I had taken a function. The difference is that I've shot the pictures where white was not a common theme but rich colors were the theme. The function was indoor as well as outdoor.
Indoor I shot with spot metering (12mm on the D1X), used a fast lens 24-85mm f/2.8 and had taken an equal number of shots with a diffuser on the flash as well as without the flash.
For outdoors I used a 3D Color metering. with a flash(minus the diffuser).
Overall, I would say I had close to 90% excellent pictures and the remaining 10% could be digitally mastered.
Hope the above helps
