Sweet and romantic? I'm kind of literal-minded. How about getting her some kind of luscious, custom-wrapped chocolate truffle -- wrapped in gold foil or whatever. And when she unwraps it, your proposal is written inside the wrapper (or on a piece of paper), in nice handwriting or calligraphy.
Alternatively, you could take out a classified ad in the newspaper for that day that contains your proposal, and make sure she reads it. For fun, you could put it in, like, the "for sale" or "yard sale" section with a fake ad like. "Big yard sale: clothes, shoes, 27-year-old lovestruck man. SUSAN WILL YOU MARRY ME?" Something like that. You could even bury the proposal in "help wanted." Anyway, she could rip the ad out of the paper; it'd make a nice graphic. You could make the ad long and romantic, too.
Basically, anything sweet, sentimental, and goofy is romantic, as long as the sentiment is true. Keep that in mind, and you can't go wrong.
