As the days grow longer and flowers begin to bloom, it’s the perfect time to take your gatherings outdoors. Hosting an al fresco dinner party at Solstice™ lets you embrace the beauty of the season while creating a warm, inviting environment for friends and family. With spacious patios, seamless indoor-outdoor flow, and scenic backyard settings, these floorplans make it easy to turn an ordinary evening into a magical outdoor gathering.
Arrange soft lighting, natural textures, and comfortable seating for an inviting atmosphere. String lights or lanterns add a cozy glow as the sun sets, while a table adorned with fresh flowers, linen napkins, and seasonal decor brings a refined yet effortless charm. For a natural gathering spot, take advantage of the community fire pit at Solstice™, where guests can unwind with a warm drink, share stories, and linger under the night sky.
Spring is all about fresh, vibrant flavors — build a menu that highlights seasonal ingredients sourced from the local farmers market. Think crisp salads with vinaigrette, grilled vegetables, herb-roasted meats, and fruit-forward desserts. A self-serve drink station with refreshing cocktails, mocktails, or infused water allows guests to sip and mingle at their own pace. With chef-inspired kitchens and large islands in Solstice™ floorplans, meal prep is easy — giving you more time to enjoy the evening with your guests.
Extend your gathering beyond the dining table by creating designated areas for conversation, relaxation, and entertainment. Arrange comfortable seating for pre-dinner drinks, or set up a cozy lounge area with blankets and pillows for guests to unwind after the meal. With large sliding glass doors in many Solstice™ homes, the transition between indoor and outdoor spaces is seamless, allowing for guests to move between settings throughout the night.
Keep guests engaged with fun, interactive touches. A DIY appetizer or dessert station allows them to customize their bites, while a curated playlist sets the mood. If you have a backyard lawn, classic games like bocce or cornhole add a playful element that keeps the evening lively.
Don’t worry about perfection. The best gatherings are about connection. Let the beauty of spring set the scene, keep the menu simple yet flavorful, and focus on creating meaningful moments with loved ones. At Solstice™, thoughtfully designed spaces make it easy to entertain, connect, and celebrate the season in style.
