SO excited to share Marissa & Boris' es**rt display! They share a love of letter writing, so Lisa at L. Havard Events came up with the idea of a giant letter for their es**rt display, with teeny envelopes addressed to each guest! π
How it's made:
1. Do a whole lotta math & decide on the right envelope size
2. Learn tiny envelopes don't exist in the wedding colors
3. Find the world's only supplier of terracotta paper(?!)
4. Make envelopes by hand
5. Address envelopes in calligraphy
6. Design & print insert card for each envelope with a special note from the happy couple
7. The vintage stamps I order don't arrive. Design a custom stamp, print & glue (kismet! these complete the look)
8. Painstakingly paint headers with a brush (paint pens don't come in terracotta)
9. Original backer board rental falls through. Discover the weight capacity of copper pipe, have a small but serious heart attack, switch to this backer panel π
10. Attach the envelopes so each guest can take theirs off the wall (forget to check your math and end up having to scooch half of them over one spot)
11. Wrap for transport, load into Lisa's SUV & collapse!

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world and the wedding industry in 2020, Sweeney Barn teamed up with some truly incredible professionals to donate a wedding to one deserving couple. We couldn't be more happy for Tom and Ivy, who were *finally* married at our venue on September 23, 2021.
Both in the healthcare industry, they didn't have the time to plan a wedding due to all the extra shifts they were pulling throughout the pandemic. We are so appreciative of everything they've done for their patients, and honored to be part of this gift to them.
We invite you to watch their wedding trailer, which shows not only their incredible love for each other, but also the extreme talent of industry professionals local to our area. Congratulations, Tom and Ivy - it was wonderful to see you tie the knot at Sweeney Barn!

Congratulations to Tamara and Jon! They were finally able to celebrate their wedding on Sunday (after rescheduling three times!), and it was so wonderful to see them surrounded by their dearest family and friends. It was such a beautiful celebration at Sylvanside Farm, and I can't wait to share more!

Sweeney Barn is excited to host the Second Annual The Wedding Yard Sale on Sunday, November 15, 2020!
The Wedding Yard Sale is a platform for newlyweds to sell their gently used wedding items to recoup their costs and find a good home for their items. The sale also creates an opportunity for engaged couples to purchase wedding items at a fraction of the cost. Northern Virginia based Wedding Planners Lisa Havard of L. Havard Events and Natalie Seng of Designed Perfectly Events dreamed up this idea in 2018 after observing their engaged couples purchase items for their wedding and then wonder what to do with those items after the wedding. The event is also for wedding vendors (Florists, Photographers, Wedding Planners, Stylists, etc.) looking to add or subtract items from their inventories.

fridayβs wedding was the kind of day that had me tearinβ up constantly.
you could tell this was a long awaited day, but the pain of having to postpone their original plan to get married in april seemed long forgotten, as the joy of the day took center stage.
the day was so full of heart and love and my only goal was to capture it in a way that they will still *feel* how wonderful the day felt when they look back in 50 years β€οΈ

Hi already-married past couples, and couples getting ready for your weddings! One of my favorite planners, L. Havard Events, is hosting her second annual Wedding Yard Sale!
Couples collect and purchase items to style your weddings... but what to do with all the stuff you've purchased after the wedding? Send it onto its next home and life at the Wedding Yard Sale... or pick up gently-loved items for your upcoming wedding, and be a bit gentler on the planet than buying new.
The Yard Sale is on Sunday, March 29th at Sweeney Barn in Manassas from 2pm to 4pm. More details:
