when will peonies bloom

Help! I am supposed to supply a wedding with flowers, and I have not kept track of my peonies bloom time. I am between Poughkeepsie and Albany, NY. Can anybody tell me when a standard bright pink peonie probably from the 70's or 80's might start blooming? The pre-bloom bud is usually 1 1/2 inches in diameter, right now the buds are 3/4 inches at the largest.

And: can I slow the bloom (I need them for June 23rd) by shading them? I don't have a refrigerator big enough to extend the time with cooling.

Thank you for any help you can give my queasy stomach.
