The blonde beauty was seen hugging and kissing the Australian actor, whom she met on the set of their 2010 movie The Last Song.

Miley looked every inch the blushing bride in her ivory silk satin corseted draped gown, which complemented her slim physique.

Liam cut a dapper figure in a sharp black suit, tie with a white shirt and trainers. 

The floor-length dress was custom-made by Vivienne Westwood’s couture team and costs an eye-watering $8,600, according to PEOPLE.  

In the photo, the blonde beauty hugged and kissed Liam. She revealed they tied the knot on December 23 – a decade after they first met while shooting The Last Song.

A third post featured the couple sharing a kiss and the Party In The USA hitmaker wrote: ‘This is probably our one – millionth kiss.(sic)’

The actor shared the same kissing photo, which he captioned: ‘My love [heart emoji].’ 

Earlier in the week her friend Conrad Carr took to Instagram to share a snapshot of the lovebirds preparing to cut a cake together.

In the telling image from Carr, Miley looked resplendent in her gown as she stood before Liam whose hand rested under hers.

They both held a large knife while standing before Miley’s casually-dressed mother Trish with giant metallic pink balloons spelling out ‘Mr & Mrs’ in the background. 

Making the occasion a true family affair, Liam’s actor brothers Chris and Luke are also seen in the intimate group of loved ones. 

The couple exchanged nuptials in their home in Franklin, Tennessee – contrary to initial speculation that they were planning to wed in Liam’s native Australia.

The home is worth USD $5.8 million (AUD $8.2 million) and is located in Franklin, Tennessee.  

In the lead up to their wedding, the couple took a far more laid-back approach.

The newlyweds enjoyed low-key dates at a Nashville wine bar and bowling alley, and Liam was even spotted browsing a local shopping mall shortly before his nuptials.

And the hunk’s bachelor party was also a very low-key affair, with him enjoying a relaxed night in with friends. 

Miley and Liam have been in an on-again-off-again relationship for years, and first got engaged back in June 2012. 

But after the couple lost their Malibu home in the recent California wildfires, Miley and Liam wanted to make it official, according to OK! magazine.

‘She and Liam feel like their engagement has gone on forever and they both decided, at the same time, it was time to wed already,’ a source claimed.
