Money is the biggest issue on The Knot. With the average wedding costing $19,000, people are asking how they can do it for $3,000.

Brides are continually looking for ways to make every aspect of their wedding day a true reflection of their personality. As color is becoming an increasingly popular addition to the wedding dress, brides are finding it an easy way to further express themselves and make their wedding dress unique. We know that the trend is real, as we've observed it at several celebrity weddings.

Some of the money has been raised, but we need about $3,000.

This will be an educational trip. I will stay with a host family and will get to go to embassies and schools over there to see how they do things. It will be a 20-day trip. I'm very excited about getting to go.
