To do display the field label inside the form all you need to do is use the ‘watermark’ function of CF7. Here is an exmaple:
[email* your-email <strong>watermark</strong> "Enter Your Email"]

your-name is the name of the field
“Enter Your Email” is the text to display
Note the watermark added after the your-name text.
