Today, my future mother-in-law informed me that since she is putting money into our wedding, that all the planning and arrangements are under her authority. FML

Have a smaller wedding and tell her that you can't accept her help if it's conditional. This isn't the way to start a marriage, with her asserting her authority over your decisions.

Try this: "Gee, Bloberta, I would love your input on the wedding, but I thought you were giving (fiance) and I a gift. I didn't realize that there were strings attached. I am really not willing to relinquish control of planning, so it might be better if we didn't accept your money."

Is your name Debra and hers Marie? Your marriage seems to be starting on an Everyone Loves Raymond note

I get wanting some control if you're paying for something, but I see that as go ahead and make it bigger/ask to invite more guests. My fiance is an only child, so his parents are paying for half of our wedding as a gift. Not something attached to strings - a gift. They've asked to invite friends, and they made a few requests, but they aren't throwing demands left and right. If she wants to do it as a gift, let her. If she wants to do it so she can make the day hers, I'm with everyone who says pay for it yourself, even if you have to elope. And to anyone saying you can't put together a nice wedding for cheap if it's soon - I've seen it done.
