For weddings I usually have a 1/8 CTO simply to make electronic flash not so cold. If I want more visible warmth I use 1/4 CTO on the flash.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you use the 1/8 on the flash when you are using flash w/ natural light to make the flash warmer.

To the OP I would use full CTO and set my camera to tungston. Anything less than full CTO will give your flash a cool look if you wb is set to tungston.

Yes, you're right, I didn't read the OP well enough so answered the wrong question.
