The episode follows four brides as they attend each other's nuptials to score their weddings and offer their honest opinions on the various aspects of each celebration. The fun-loving 2020 brides share their unique wedding themes spanning from majestic to rustic-chic. The brides together to share the most important day of their lives, all while competing for the ultimate prize.

The first bride, Helen, sets the scene with her royal blue colour scheme, which is ultimately inspired by her honeymoon destination's locale. Her wedding ceremony space is breathtaking with an enormous chandelier hanging in the middle, and the aisle is surrounded by flowers. Guests are also given blankets in case of the evening's cool temperature, which is a nice touch.

Next up is Taylor, who opted for a rustic-chic wedding with a touch of bohemian theme. Her wedding ceremony takes place in a beautiful open field, which is perfect for beautiful outdoor weddings. The food presentation in her reception was elegant, with long tables and brilliant, subdued lighting adding to the atmosphere.

Afterward, it's on to Brittany's wedding, where things take an unusual twist during the ceremony. The bride and groom exchange vows, but the ceremony is halted before the officiant completes the proceedings. Brittany's wedding reception ends up feeling a little bit rushed due to a lack of planning, but the guests enjoyed themselves with the sumptuous food, full bar and beautiful scenery that the nuptials provided.

Last but not least, Katie's ceremony immediately takes place in a garden, where guests sit on comfortable chairs underneath rustic arches made of beautiful flowers. The bride's fondest memories are of the slow-motion dance moment with the groom and the festivities - all elements of the traditional wedding ceremony she celebrates.

When it comes time to rate the weddings, the contestants get in some excellent criticisms. They laud the bride who has incorporated unique elements into her wedding. Meanwhile, they scold the one who chose decorations that made the affair feel too cluttered.

Despite all this, it's now down to the scoring, and it's clear from the excitement on every bride's face that they have all put in their level best.
