Yes, for complete flower, it must posses four floral appendages which are

Calyx: a whorl of sepals at the base.

Corolla: a whorl of petals above the calyx.

Androecium: a whorl of stamens, each comprising a filament and an anther.

Gynoecium: a whorl of the female parts of a flower: the stigma, style and ovary.

The plants which have all the four floral appendages are termed as Complete flower.
examples of complete flowers include hibiscus, roses, pea plants and tulips.

And the plants in which their flowers lacks any of the appendages are termed as incomplete flower.
Examples include maize (Zea mays) and members of the Cucurbitaceae (gourds, squash) 

among four of them calyx and corolla are non-essential floral appendages whereas Androecium and Gynoecium are essential floral appendages
