@dingelbob Whatever the greenery chosen just make sure the greens have good green color and flexible, which means they are healthy.
Keeping greens fresh is tricky and obviously a lot of water to hydrate the greens is key. Once you cut your greens, you want to soak them n water over night. After soaking it is suggested to spray the greens with Cloud Cover or Wilt-Pruf available at garden centers.
I made a wreath this year out of pine from my back yard but it dried out within a week and when I picked it up all the needles fell off. What do you suggest I can do so they last? Or what is the best type of pine I can use?

I hope this helps for next seasons decorating.
