The competition guys probably have some good ideas for you.
I was weened on whole hog & grew up with it...it's in my veins. Never have I seen a garnished hog at a pig picking.
Hopefully you get some good ideas to dress up your piggie.

I thought it was traditional to stick an apple in its mouth... or get creative with it.

The green stuff I see used most are kale leaves I believe. If you're going to do an apple in the mouth, you'll need to stick something in there before cooking to hold the mouth open. If you don't, once cooked, the jaw will break off. Stick an empty, open can in it's mouth or something. After the cook just take it out & insert an apple.
Pineapple around the perimeter is a good idea...as are some sort of flowers (the more tropical looking the better). Orange or lemon halves add to the color scheme as well.

Banana leaves underneath the pig.....green leaf lettuce all around the hog with whole pineapples on each end (2 or 4) ....whole and or sliced apples, whole and or sliced oranges and grapes spread about.

Some big flat leaves underneath and something simple at the ends like a pineapple or two. A complex fancy spread looks good for a photo but gets in the way of you actually plan to eat it.

If you use apples, don't slice them.
The lipstick & earrings is a good idea. Maybe even a lip ring.
