PlanningThe design operation starts about six months before the event , before they even make out which VIP machine will be selected . “ For example , I had some very specific colour palettes in mind , even before we knew which railcar were take for the parade . We conceptualize more designs prior to the machine survival , make it a seamless cognitive operation to okay - tune the intention storyboards once the car are nail down . Once automobile selections happen , things move fast , so any advance work allows us to focalize on minor tweak and get our flowered order placed in October / November . ”
ThemeThe Theme for 2022 ToR was Dream , Believe , Achieve . “ Our plan tied back into the radical using color , floral styling and " Achieve " was a part of it from a scale perspective . ”
ChallengesThe major challenge this year was to buy all the specific flowers they wanted , Ancel explains . “ The flowers , 8.000 efflorescence stem in total , were sourced from South America , California , Holland , and beyond . This year , it was a challenging year to get all the specific peak we wanted . When forge with a perishable product , you need to improvise quite often . A few of our excogitation had an ombre twirl to them , so adjusting flowered varieties for one often mean we demand to shift a few others to persist true to the intended design . ”
“ We ’re always up for a challenge , but it get to a power point that we search beyond flowers to incorporate dark glasses of floral in other fashion . For model , we dye corn husks in Beta vulgaris juice and turmeric , and then traverse them in dried florals to be able to add more grain and unequalled people of color into designs . We also dipped ribbon leaves in dried floral petals to add exfoliation to our designs . ”
Preparation next year“The team typically receive the dignitary vehicle survival in August and begins the design conception cognitive process a couple of months before . ”
