Gwen posted several photos from her big day on Monday and captioned the slideshow on Instagram, "July 3rd 2021 dreams do come true !!! [Blake], I love you."
The photos feature the newlyweds posing at the edge of a rock cliff under a pink sunset sky and kissing next to their five-tier wedding cake.
Gwen donned a custom-made lily white Vera Wang Haute silk georgette gown with a sweetheart plunging neckline, fitted bodice and high-low hand tumbled tulle skirt, according to People.
Gwen pulled her hair back and wore a white chapel-length veil which reportedly featured the bride and groom's names on it as well as Gwen's three children -- Kingston, 15, Zuma, 12, and Apollo, 7 -- from her previous marriage to Gavin Rossdale.
In addition, Gwen rocked a red lip along with gold-bangle bracelets, simple earrings and a cross necklace.
As for the country star, Blake wore classic blue jeans along with a black tuxedo jacket over a white shirt with a black vest and bow tie.
In a third image posted to Gwen's Instagram account, Gwen and Blake apparently rode off into the night on a golf cart decorated with white tulle bows. Gwen was captured smiling big as she held out her bouquet of white roses into the air.
Gwen also uploaded a photo showing off her sexy reception dress, which included a shorter veil with a big white bow on top and sky-high stiletto cowboy boots monogrammed with the couple's initials in Swarovski crystals.
"You need a party dress when u get to marry @blakeshelton @verawang gx," Gwen wrote.
Vera Wang revealed Gwen had changed into "a custom lily white Italian silk crepe and hand tumbled tulle strapless mini dress" for her party, People reported.
The dress boasted "hand pieced silk, crystal and sequin embroidered foliage delicately trickling from the waist down the skirt," according to the dress designer.

The party dress also gave a nod to Gwen's three children, as love birds symbolizing the couple were embroidered on the dress as well as three baby love birds.
In addition, Gwen posted two photos with Blake and The Voice host Carson Daly, who officiated the ceremony, on Instagram.
"Gwen captioned the playful pictures of the co-workers, "Thank u @carsondaly we love u!! @blakeshelton gx."
Wedding guests reportedly dined on tacos, burgers, fries and more comfort foods.
The New York Post's Page Six reported that Blake had a chapel built on his Oklahoma property with the intent of marrying Gwen inside. A white tent and tables were reportedly located outside of the chapel adorned with flowers and greens.
Blake had also reportedly built a new home for his wife and stepkids.
Reports surfaced last week Gwen and Blake had applied for a marriage license in Oklahoma, so fans expected their nuptials would take place any day thereafter.
Blake and Gwen announced their engagement in October 2020 after more than five years of dating.

Blake posted the same image on his own Instagram account and wrote alongside it, "Hey @gwenstefani thanks for saving my 2020... And the rest of my life.. I love you. I heard a YES!"
Us Weekly reported in June that Blake and Gwen were planning to wed once quarantine regulations were lifted amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
"COVID-19 has turned their world upside down, as it has with so many families," a source told the magazine at the time.
"Gwen knows she is blessed and wants to have the wedding as soon as social distancing guidelines are lifted."
Gwen split from Bush frontman, Gavin, in 2015 after 13 years of marriage, and their divorce was later finalized in 2016.
Gwen filed for divorce from Gavin, who allegedly had a long-term affair with their children's nanny, right around the same time Blake was finalizing his divorce from country singer Miranda Lambert.
Blake was married to country star Miranda Lambert from 2011 to 2015.
Since Gwen is Roman Catholic, she initially didn't want to have a wedding with Blake until her first marriage to Gavin is annulled.
Us reported back in March 2019 that Gwen had begun "the formal process" to have her previous marriage to Gavin annulled by the Catholic church because "religion has always been extremely important to her."
But Gwen reportedly changed her mind after dating Blake for well over four years.
"[The global crisis] changed Gwen's feelings about getting the annulment and getting married," the source said, adding that she wanted to move forward with marrying Blake.
The source elaborated, "Gwen wants to have a ceremony and reception with their family and friends. She didn't wait this long to get married with family watching on Zoom."

Gwen and Blake first met each other while filming The Voice and confirmed they're dating right after Halloween in 2015, once multiple photos surfaced online of the couple engaging in PDA and spending a lot of time together.
"Blake was very serious about Gwen right from the start, and early on he thought about proposing," a Gwen insider told People late last year.
The couple initially bought a house together in October 2019, and then engagement, baby and marriage rumors followed the couple ever since they got serious.
Gwen last appeared as a coach on The Voice's nineteenth season while Blake has been a mainstay on the show ever since its first season premiered in 2011.
