Create the Perfect Breakfast in Bed


Set the Table {Bed}: Make the Perfect Breakfast in Bed

My family has a loving tradition that on your birthday morning, all of the members in the family get up bright and early to make an elaborate breakfast in bed for the birthday girl/boy. It is something that is so special to me that even my husband has carried on the tradition as we moved to our own home. For this Valentine’s Day I decided why not carry the tradition over. It’s so much more intimate than a crowded restaurant, plus will totally catch my hubby off guard. So how does one make the perfect Valentine’s Day tray? 1. Pink accents – such as these adorable (and reversible) Sail to Sable cloth napkins and Godiva Pink Chocolates. 2. Choosing the perfect menu. The FHH loved my Scones that I made in THIS FH article, so to add a little extra, I splurged on some fancy jellies to make them even more special.

So, if you are ready to cancel that dinner reservation and do something a little more intimate, just follow these easy steps.

What you will need:

  • A tray
  • Fresh flowers in a small vase (Mine is from West Elm)
  • Festive Napkins (Mine are from Sail to Sable)
  • Water Glass and Coffee Mug (Coffee Mug is from C Wonder) optional: Juice glass
  • Pink Chocolates (Mine are from Godiva)
  • A delicious Breakfast
  • Plate and Silverware
  • Fancy Jams (Like mine from Bonne Maman, if you are making my scone recipe)

How to assemble your tray:

  1. Start by placing your glasses in the top right hand corner.
  2. Next fold your napkin and place on the left, apply silverware on top.
  3. Add your flowers to the top right corner. Place your jams right beside the flowers. Place your plate of food in the center.
  4. Adorn the white area of the tray surrounding your plate with pink chocolates.
  5. Serve!
