The Tournament of Roses? If so, your float will be entirely covered in flowers and I wouldn't be too concerned about visible joints. Clever use of floral cover should camouflage the joints.
That said, if there is genuine concern about visible joints, latex rubber is often used as skin on animatronics. It is first mixed, then poured into molds and it sets pretty quickly.
