21 Songs From Bride Wars

There are 21 songs in the movie Bride Wars, including music from Duffy, Estelle, Colbie Caillat and Natasha Bedingfield. There also are some classic (and classical) bridal songs, including Richard Wagner’s Bridal Chorus, Bach’s Jesu Joy and Vivaldi’s Spring.

But the movie also includes a few songs I would not expect, including Get Ready for This by 2 Unlimited and Give It to Me Baby by Rick James. Throw in a mix of The Submarines, Technotronic and Eve, contrasted against Natalie Cole and Ryan Shaw, and you have an interesting soundtrack.

/The complete list of songs from the movie is below. If you want to jump straight to all the videos and downloads from the movie, click here.

Call it a battle between wedding standards and reception hits that goad you to the dance floor, plus some sappy goodness thrown in to boot (the songs playing during the maid of honor’s toast or a father-daughter dance).

You’ll recognize The Submarines song You, Me, and the Bourgeoisie from the iPhone 3G commercial.

And you cannot go wrong with a throwback to Natalie Cole. Here’s This Will Be (An Everlasting Love). Maybe songs that are prominently featured in commercials is the subtext for the movie soundtrack.

Or maybe you prefer a little musical sunshine and happy days from Colbie Caillat. All of her songs sound like sunrise in Santa Monica. You can’t help but think today is the day for a bit of goodness. Here’s Somethin’ Special.

Update 1: Quite a few people are looking for the song that plays around the wedding scene featuring a female vocal that starts with the words “I was a little girl.” The song is Dream by Priscilla Ahn. She has a gorgeous voice. Here’s the video:

You can find the videos and downloads for the songs at Reelsoundtrack.com. Here’s the complete list of songs from the movie. I will have info on specific scenes that the songs play in tomorrow.
