For the cards above, I used the paper Bride Specialty Paper(BSP) from Stampin UP. I used the Stampin UP heart punch for the dress and tuxedo. I brayered Old Olive over the BSP.

The card below was a totally cased from Lynn Pratt. Here is the template that she provided: http://stampndesign.blogspot.com/2010/03/free-template-wedding-card.html
