Hi there! I think I can sort of help you with these questions. The only thing they supply is what is included in your package. I don't think they keep stuff like candles and baskets on hand. When we were at the wedding office, they only had the items in there that are included with wedding packages (chair bows, center piece examples that are an extra cost, etc) There is a book to go through when picking out your flowers and center pieces, so I think what you see is what you get, unless you bring your own stuff. They may be able to get candles for you but it would be much more expensive than bringing your own with you. So my advice would be to bring as much with you that you can, and they will set it all up for you for no extra charge. That way you will be guaranteed to have exactly what you want. We brought a lot with us and luckily our friends and family were willing to pack stuff for us in their suitcases. If you are having an outdoor reception, I recommend bringing flameless candles. I brought both flameless and regular candles and we couldn't even light the regular candles because of the wind, so I'm glad I had the other ones. I also brought my own candle holders and vases. My suggestion for the flip flops is maybe you can bring them to the wedding office and they can put them all out on a table for you at the reception. Maybe on the table with your guest book? Here is a list of what we brought with us for the wedding: Candles, candle holders, vases, sea shells, decorative sand, maracas, cake topper, sand ceremony vases, wedding bubbles.
