Fleur Delacour's wand: Rosewood. "Fleur" is French for "flower", and 
a rose is a type of flower.

Lily Evans Potter's wand: Willow.  The Chinese bodhisattva Guan-Yin 
holds a willow twig in her hand that symbolizes sacrifice and cycle 
of life and death.

An important note on Ron's new wand:

Cedric Diggory's wand core is unicorn hair.  In 
Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone, the centaur Ronan tells 
Hagrid "always the innocent are the first victims". Then they go on 
to discover the dead unicorn.  Cedric's wand contained unicorn hair, 
and he was the first victim of Lord Voldemort (after Lord Voldemort's 
rescurrection).

The core of Ron's new wand is, like Cedric's, unicorn hair.

The wood of Ron's new wand is willow (like Lily Potter's, means 
sacrifice and cycle of life and death.)
