How can I make these colors work for my wedding, purple, blue, orange, and cream?

One colour for the bridesmaids dresses, cream for the flowers and linens, and the other colours for the ribbons and table confetti.
Sounds like a Mardi Gras or college colours wedding-is that your theme?
Bridesmaids are always grateful when the dresses are a reusable colour and style, so go with the blue or a sherbet shade of the orange (if they all look good in sherbet orange) for the dresses. Purple is a hard colour for some women to wear but looks great as a ribbon and would look pretty with the blue, and the all colours would be great together scattered across the tables as confetti.
Good luck, and best wishes on the wedding.
I agree with making one color lighter. I can see a light purple, medium purple, and blue flower bouquet with sherbet orange poppies as an accent. Then light purple dresses with medium purple sash/belt and orange shoe pins or hair bobbles. Or sherbet orange dresses with purple bobbles/shoes.
I think the key is definitely using a couple of muted colors. Colors that are too bright will feel like a pep rally (unless that's what you're going for).
Can you find a fabric that incorporates all these colors? Then the bridesmaids' dresses, etc., could be made from it. You could then use the solid colors for tablecloths, napkins, etc.
