Our Story

The Story Behind Magnolia Petal Co.

A passion for design, a love of meaningful moments, and a belief that beauty has the power to connect us all.

The Founder

Meet Tonya Kramer

Magnolia Petal Co. was founded by Tonya Kramer — a lifelong creative with a passion for designing meaningful pieces that help people celebrate life's most beautiful moments.

Inspired by nature, family traditions, and the emotions tied to life's milestones, Tonya began creating custom floral designs that could be treasured long after the celebration had ended.

After relocating to Louisville, Kentucky, Tonya attended her first Kentucky Derby in 2006. Inspired by the elegance, artistry, and traditions surrounding Derby fashion, she created her first custom Derby hat — and what began as a personal creative outlet quickly became a beloved tradition of its own.

For nearly twenty years, Tonya has handcrafted Derby hats and fascinators for friends and family, creating one-of-a-kind statement pieces that have become part of countless Derby memories.

Today, Magnolia Petal Co. brings together these two passions: timeless floral artistry and wearable statement designs, each created with intention, beauty, and a deep appreciation for the moments and traditions that matter most.

Philosophy
"
"Life is fragile, and none of us are promised tomorrow. I believe meaningful moments deserve to be celebrated, memories deserve to be honored, and cherished spaces deserve to be filled with beauty that reflects the people who inhabit them.

Through every design, my hope is to create something that helps others celebrate, remember, connect, and find joy in the moments that matter most. Because beauty has the power to comfort, inspire, and remind us what it means to truly live."
