5 Cotton napkins
Big white cotton napkins keep your bed linens clean and channel a fresh-pressed vibe that's pure luxury. And we know few things are sexier than that!
6 A bud vase
Keep it clean and simple: a petite one-stem bud vase holding a single fresh bloom or leaf. Go for cut-crystal if your style is traditional, white ceramic or glass if it's more transitional or contemporary.
7 A killer brunch cookbook

The less ambitious can rely on a great local bakery if they keep a good cheese and fruit selection on deck in the fridge at all times.

You know when Marie Antoinette was asked about what the common people could do for bread, her response was, why dont they eat cake and milk? my point here is that, why whenever someone comes along and tries to suggest to us how to improve our lives, they always give us suggestions that only tycoons can live up to. You know wake up, we are not millionaires, please do include us, the common people in your suggestions. After all we are most of the society, and we cant afford to live in an extravagant manner.
I think that's a harsh comment, if you asked me. The point here is not imposing high-end, expensive ideas, but rather to provide ideas that you can work with and apply to your own lifestyle. The article is not suggesting a luxurious, expenseive morning, but a romantic one, nor is it telling you to by your china from Mikasa or Lenox. Let us not get too ahead of ourselves. A+ to the article.
I'm with denden - expensive things aren't necessarily classy AND vice versa. The "common people" can recreate this one if they are resourceful. (find a tray and bodum on sale, cloth napkins are probably less expensive than paper given that you can resuse them, the best fruit is often the cheapest because it is in season, etc.) This article lets people know that evryone can create a romantic breakfast in bed for their partner. And nobody can afford not to treat their partner on occasion.
