The secret's out: Country star Miranda Lambert reveals her mother's wedding dress that she wore to marry Blake Shelton

As a multi-millonairess country singer, Miranda Lambert she could have had the most top of the range wedding outfit that money could buy.
But rather than go in for an expensive made-to-measure designer gown, the star opted for tradition and rather sweetly wore her mother's wedding dress for her May 14 nuptials to Blake Shelton, 34, her beau of five years.
The 27-year-old's mother exchanged her vows in the exact same simple ivory wedding gown more than 30 years earlier - and today Miranda has revealed the gown in question for all the world to see.

The star kept things equally simple with her footwear - wearing cowboy boots underneath.

Miranda's now husband Blake explained that he was totally blown away by how stunning she looked as she arrived at the altar.
He said: 'I couldn't get over how beautiful she was.' 
The down-to-earth-couple then headed off on a fishing trip in Oklahoma following their ceremony in Texas last weekend.

While most women might find the idea of fishing all day as their ultimate nightmare, the Lone star singer beamed proudly in the photo with her haul.
With her hair in pigtails, she wore striped overalls, a pink bikini and a cap that said it all, with the words 'Farm Girl' emblazoned across it. 
The trip however, is not apparently the newlywed's official honeymoon.
According to Us magazine, the couple are just spending some time at their Tishomingo, Oklahoma home following the nuptials. 
Miranda appears to be settling into married life nicely, taking to Twitter to give her fans updates.

'Mrs Shelton here! Winning!!!!!' she wrote on her Twitter account on Monday.

Miranda is a born and bred Southern girl and her wedding last weekend was certainly proof of that.

Miranda and Blake settled on scatterings of stetsons and cowboy boots for their ceremony.

The couple were wed at the historic Don Strange Ranch, north of the city of San Antonio, and treated their guests to a Southern-style knees-up afterwards.
Amongst the guests were Cee Lo Green, Reba McEntire, Martina McBride, Dierks Bentley, Charles Kelly and the Bellamy Brothers.
And donning stetsons and cowboy boots, the guests were given a traditional Texas barbecue complete with deer steaks and smokey sauce at the traditional American ranch.

In the run up to her wedding Miranda went on a health kick, steering clear of carbs and hired a personal trainer to join her on tour
Revealing the results she said: 'My trainer's been kicking my butt. It's not so much losing weight as toning up, getting rid of the jiggles and wiggles.
'I'm down to a [U.S] size 6. I had to have all my clothes taken in – so I'm really excited about that.'
