White lilies are often seen at weddings & funerals since they represent rebirth, while the white rose is a sign of respect or remembrance. Notably, it is also the flower of June, Philip’s birth month.

Jasmine, meanwhile, is symbolic of purity, & sweet peas represent a departure or thank you. The white wax flowers symbolises a lasting love or a love that endures time & trials.
