Sunnah is the way of our Prophet Muhammed (SAW)... If you do it you get reward... If you don't then there's no sin. Walima is Not compulsory... but if you can afford it then you should try to as there is reward in implementing the Sunnah.
p.s u can have walima after the marriage without even consummation... its basically a Dawat for the relatives after the marriage,,,,, without much show off... just to celebrate the hapiness,,,, i dont get from where this "walima can happen only after consummation" has stemmed :/
