And the 28-year-old has taken to the camera once again, providing a peek of her South Carolina wedding day in a video shared on Instagram.

'...oh heavenly day...' Emily captioned the sweet video on Tuesday, which captured her early June nuptials to Tyler Johnson, 28, in romantic fashion.

In the clip, Emily stood proudly beside her husband-to-be in a gorgeous chiffon wedding dress with a silk violet belt.

'We are gathered here this evening to marry Tyler Johnson and Emily Maynard,' the officiant proudly proclaimed to a cheering crowd.

Meanwhile, flashes of the Southern style wedding showed off their elegant outdoor reception inside a transparent wedding tent.

Meanwhile, new photos have appeared that show the 28-year-old bride in all her glory wearing a stunning, strapless Modern Trousseau gown with pastel pink sash.

One Instagram shows Emily posing in a flowering field of what appear to be Black-Eyed Susans and smiling over her bare shoulder at the camera.

Her train is shown cascading behind her in layers of white tulle, the bodice embellished with lace, and her pale blonde hair curling to the middle of her back.

A second Instagram posted by the Modern Trousseau shows Emily and her new groom Tyler posing in a rustic green field with her eight-year-old daughter Ricki, who was also her mom's maid of honor.

The wedding came as a surprise to the guests, who thought they were being invited to an engagement party, according to TooFab.

'It was romantic and beautiful. When Tyler saw Emily, he was completely in awe,' one guest told Us Weekly.

The reception included a country band and the Southern fare featured pulled pork, fried chicken, shrimp and scalloped potatoes, according to E!.

Emily opted for a traditional look while saying her wedding vows on a tree farm in Sharon, South Carolina on Saturday.

The former reality star, who was on both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, held onto a bouquet of white flowers that matched the blossoms pinned into her hair.

Her groom looked equally stylish in a black suit with a white shirt, though he opted for no tie.

The wedding took place on Johnson's family tree farm.

The theme looked to be country chic.

Large black lanterns were used for the outdoor ceremony that took place at sunset.

They hung from tree branches as well as resting on the ground to provide a path.

The couple said their vows under a large white oak tree.

The reception was held in a roomy white tent where food was served buffet style.

Several waiters in white coats were seen walking about.

Large gold lanterns hung over dark hardwood tables decorated with pink and white roses as well as Hydrangeas.

Guests looked to be dressed in cocktail attire for the wedding that many reportedly believed was just an engagement party - that is until they arrived and saw Emily and Tyler's minister.

Emily's eight-year-old daughter Ricki was seen as well in a dress with plenty of tulle.

'God brought us together. He's given me such peace about everything. I'm so grateful I met him,' Emily gushed exclusively to People.com after the wedding.

The looker, who is now using the surname Johnson, is said to have tied the knot with her management consultant beau in front of 200 guests treated to the sight of the reality star walking down a lantern-lit aisle in a gown designed by Modern Trousseau.

Beneath the gown, the Southern belle reportedly wore cowboy boots.

'It's just as much her day as it is mine because it's a big change for her,' Emily said. 'She just adores Tyler and he is so good with her. He loves her as if she was his own daughter. It's been so great to see their relationship grow.'

A glow: The reception took place in a big white tent on the sprawling tree farm

Tyler has planned a honeymoon for the couple and all the bride knows is that it will be somewhere with a beach.

'We could totally be going to Myrtle Beach for all I know!' Emily joked, referring to a local spot in South Carolina.

She also opened up about her TV past, which included two failed engagements to The Bachelor star Brad Womack and Jef Holm, who won her hand on series eight of The Bachelorette.

'For so long I felt so embarrassed and ashamed about that TV stuff,' she admitted.

She reveals that it was her faith instead that paved the path which led her to her new husband.

'The grace that my faith has given me to wipe that all away and not find worth in that and find it through God, Tyler has been a great example of that for me,' she added. 'He has truly lived out God's grace every day.'

Flowers everywhere: Roses and Hydrangeas were arranged in short vases and placed on long wood tables

Before her wedding, Emily was spotted dropping her beloved pooch Pixie off at a dog obedience school, and treating herself to a blow dry and a spot of shopping.

Wearing an unusual grey top over her turquoise floral dress, the bride-to-be finished her look with a pair of strappy blue heels and slouchy grey tote.

Later, she was spotted attending a 'pre-wedding party,' where she chatted to friends and family.

Emily celebrated her 'white trash' themed bachelorette party in May after accepting Tyler's proposal in January.

Aside from her two televised betrothals, the beautiful blonde was also previously engaged to the father of her child, late NASCAR driver Ricky Hendrick.

'[This engagement] is my last. I really mean it. I'm actually making it to the marriage part this time,' Emily told People magazine in May.
