Bolivian Weddings?

I have a Bolivian friend getting married to an Irishman in June.  Her bachelorette party is Memorial Day weekend, and we wanted to incorporate both parties into her scavenger hunt and our dress.  Of course, there's a million Irish things (shamrocks, pots of gold, etc.) we can think of, but we have no idea what traditions are uniquely Bolivian.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    I'm not sure how hard it is to get, but you can try to get the bride a Bolivian bowler hat for her to wear. The indigenous population in Bolivia often wear bowler hats, shawls, and skirts (pollera). It's not strictly Bolivian, but you can also get a pan flute. The only Bolivan things I can think of involve attire worn during the cultural dances performed at Carneval (Morenada, Diablada, Tinkus, etc). Maybe you can get a hankerchief in the colors of the Bolivian flag (red, yellow, green) and have her dance cueca. I hope this helps
