I am about to finalize the details with my florist and I am having some doubts. I had dreamed of a bouquet of peonies like these.

 Because I am having my bridesmaids carry 3 jumbo hydrangias the florist suggest hydrangias in my bouquet also. She said this would help keep the cost of my bouquet down also. Both flowers run about $10 per stem but the hydrangias fill up more space. I agrred to a boquet of the following.

4 jumbo hydrangias

12 roses

6-7 Peonies

Hoping it will look like this, but fuller.

When It was all said and done I wondered, if I had just stuck with the peonies would I have really spent that much more?

Thats where I began to wonder exactly how many peonies would it take to ge a full symmetrical bouquet like the ones shown?

Or should should I listen to the advice of the florist to match the bridesmaids?

@SandyThePoet:  I think I got lucky with my florist. They did warn that they may be hard to find in August. So I asked in this case what do you do? They said they would order them from Brazil, but it did not change the cost of my bouquet any. Now I did not ask if I was going with an entire bouquet of peonies what it would cost. Thanks for the heads up!
