Press Release Summary = Susan Smith & Mark Niemierko of Smith & Niemierko, the
luxury wedding experts, are thrilled to announce their privileged association with
Van Cleef & Arpels.

Press Release Body = The House of Van Cleef & Arpels was born of a love story
between Alfred Van Cleef and Estelle Arpels. They met at the dawn of the 20th
century, and their marriage was one of beauty and charm, talent and elegance.
Renowned worldwide for unparalleled craftsmanship, innovative design, functionality
and simplicity, each timeless original creation is streamlined for the modern woman
who truly understands superior fine jewellery. The elegantly refined designs for
which the House is known merit only the most impeccable gemstones. It is this
combination of craftsmanship and quality that has led Van Cleef & Arpels to
symbolize perfection and purity through their creations.

Smith & Niemierko couples are treated to a privileged VIP service with appointments
at the Van Cleef & Arpels New Bond street boutique or at Harrods fine jewellery
room.

Smith & Niemierko will work exclusively alongside Van Cleef & Arpels with our
already established LUXURY ENGAGEMENT SERVICE for men. We support the prospective
groom through all of the complications of planning the perfect wedding and
honeymoon.

The full service includes VIP treatment and appointments at Van Cleef & Arpels,
travel and accommodation reservations, logistics management, engagement parties and
an initial wedding consultation. Naturally Smith & Niemierko's involvement in the
proposal is never revealed to the proposed, allowing full credit to go to the
gentlemen in question.

To celebrate this new union of two luxury brands Smith & Niemierko with Van Cleef &
Arpels co-hosted a chic event for St Valentines Day, on Thursday 8th February at the
Van Cleef & Arpels New Bond Street Boutique. Invited guests included current and
previous Smith & Niemierko couples, Bridal Press and high-end Bridal industry
suppliers. Veuve Clicquot Rosé champagne was served along with cocktails, canapés
and divine Ladurée macaroons.
