Seems like a tricky metering situation. The surrounding white may have caused the camera to underexpose, thus the flowers were very dark.
Can try to spot meter the greeny leaves. However, this may sacrifice some of the white detail, like maybe your candle may overexpose. Using flash might lighten up the flowers, but they may kill the overall "candle-light" ambience. Jus my 2c observation. I'm bad at flash n neither good at exposure hor.  |

maybe put a reflector to lighten the flowers further.

for a shot like this, the point of metering is very important.
obviously the camera has taken metering off the candlelighting and therefore causing your foreground subject (the flowers) to be darker than you wanted it to be. If you have a tripod, you can try setting up the shot and having long exposure for more ambience and for flash, you can try fill flash (Bounced) to light up your foreground without killing the ambience (since it's a digicam, you can experiment directions of the flash to get the best exposures) The composition wise is common but effective... Keep shooting!
