As we all know, running a successful bridal team can be incredibly rewarding, but it’s not without its challenges. If you’re finding your team dynamics less than ideal, here are seven common reasons why things might not be working, and how to fix it.

Communication breakdown

If your calls and texts are going unanswered, there’s a communication gap that needs addressing. You need to set clear expectations and establish open lines of communication from day ONE.

Personality clash

An overly feisty team member can disrupt the vibe, creating tension. It’s essential to attract people who align with your team’s values and the atmosphere you want to cultivate.

Lack of personal development

A team that doesn’t actively grow its skills holds your business back. Ensure your bridal artists are continuously learning and evolving creatively to keep up with industry trends.

Missed opportunities

When team members don’t tag your brand in their posts, you’re missing out on valuable visibility. Reinforce brand loyalty and ensure your team knows the importance of representing your business online.

Gossip and dramaaaa

Gossip is toxic and can quickly break down trust within a team. Create a zero-tolerance policy for drama and cultivate a positive work culture where everyone feels respected and heard.

Overstepping boundaries

If a team member is constantly challenging your decisions, it’s a sign of weak leadership boundaries. Remind them that it’s YOUR business and clarify their role in supporting your vision, not steering it.

Money issues

Constant haggling over pay can signal a clear misalignment. Make sure your payment structures are transparent, and communicate these clearly to avoid misunderstandings.

If so, it’s time to take charge and get your team aligned with your business goals.
