Wedding Flowers Questions?

I am getting married next June. My mom has a huge garden with tons of flowers, magenta, pink and white peonies, white daisies, yellow lilies, purple irises and some others. I was wondering if it would be okay to use these garden flowers for all of my flowers for my wedding (tables, decorations, corsages, bouquets etc). We are having about 200 people. I thought it would look nice to have the accent color (s) be pale yellow or green, which look great with the flowers- whatever combination I use.
It is hard to have a wedding on a budget, especially with 200 people, but I was thinking this would be a clever way to save some money.

What do you think?
I hope these links work (to get a idea of color scheme):

It sounds ok but keep in mind, outdoor flowers have outdoor bugs! I recall picking some flowers on our farm when I was a kid and putting them in a vase. I came back a few minutes later to find the counter covered in little black bugs. You may have to spray them with some sort of pesticide (natural or chemical – your choice) so you don't have little bugs all over. Good uck and best wishes!
