I need to know the different type of wedding cake designs...?
I know there is basketweave and lattice work but what other designs are popular as far as icing decorating? Thanks! Any websites would be great. I just need to know the basic designs to choose from.

Lots of pics here.
Check out cakecentral.com. It is full of thousands of cake pictures, and lots of information.
The two you mentioned are probably the most popular in my experience. But there are several other designs that are used, such as: ribboning, scalloping, swirling, etc.
The sky is pretty much the limit when decorating wedding cakes. Nowadays anything goes, so use your imagination and you'll have the elegant wedding cake of your dreams.
You didn't mention if you were making the cake yourself or having it professionally done. If you're using a baker/bakery they will likely have pictures of different types of designs and you can pick the one that appeals to you most.
If you are planning to decorate the cake yourself, I would recommend checking out http://www.cakechannel.com. They have great ideas and articles on a variety of subjects including a lot on wedding cakes. Oh yeah they also have plenty of pictures on the site, one is sure to spark your imagination and get your creative juices flowing. Good luck.
