Even with his history of creating the most amazing and beautiful weddings, David Tutera sometimes runs into brides who can’t trust him and let go of the work they’ve already put into their weddings. Such is the case with David’s newest bridge, Shelby Ellis of Orange, California. With her own design background and dreams of going into event and wedding planning herself, Shelby was hoping that her wedding day would be perfect. But Shelby has gone wild with her "Passport to Africa" theme by choosing the wrong dress, booking a ceremony space that doesn’t fit the theme, and covered everything in zebra stripes. She’s put it on her table accessories, on the groom’s tie, and even the bridesmaid’s dresses!

David has got plenty to do, but finds that Shelby is resistant every change he makes. Can David convince his bride to trust him and still have the time to put on a majestic and elegant wedding in only 3 weeks?
