Anna:
I have not ever done the Wedding tape, but both the new Lower Body Pyramid tape and Cathe's Pure Strength legs tape also include leg-floor work and I still do it, it is very effective.
I am finding right now that it is the floor work of Lower B P that is actually challenging me more. Last night when I did it, I could have stayed there pumping out squats all night long, but those side leg raises on the stability ball nearly killed me!!! I was swearing aloud trying to squeeze out those reps!
So, never underestimate the effectivenes of well-pitched floorwork!
I think there will remain always a place for both in your strength training program, because while standing squats, lunges, and step ups target the larger of the leg's muscle groups and the glutes, floor work allows you to target different aspects of the lower body muscles, to do some real fine tuning.
Just when you progress to doing squats with a 45 pound barbell sans probleme, some humbling 'simple' side leg raises with a stability ball will throw you a new learning curve and challenge!

yes I have added floor exercises to my routine and those in plb are great.I do a complete floor routine 2 times a week.I had been leaving it out and relying on standing leg exercise only.But see great improvement in adding the floor ex.esp since I can't run outside because it is cold here.But I did do some sprints the other day (it was a warmer day)and it felt great.I do the originial buns of steel and plb.I think my body needs the extra attention.
Thanks Clare and Sheila,
I am glad to hear that floor toning work hasn't died out, because I really love it. Also, I didn't realise it was in PS legs, so I am pleased about that, as I am ordering the PS series next month. Mmm, I like the sound of PLB, but I haven't got a medicine ball yet
