Well I LOVE THEM TOO.. But..... they aren't available in Vegas in July... So we are using "garden roses" when they are at full bloom they look as close to peonies as I can get... The men are having a pink rose bout.

I'm using white roses and baby breathe. But FIs bout will be fake, as he gets hay fever.

I love Peonies too but they are not in season for my wedding.  So right now if I am going with the flowers that will be in season for my wedding then I am considereing Dahlias, Roses, and Hydrangea.
