That's the way to go.
The paper is browned and looks crumbling/brittle. So it is acidic and degrading. Eventually it will brown the ribbon more than it already has.
On a cheap item like a local fair ribbon I'd give it a go myself, and I've done a couple with really good results.
But this is important enough to take to a real conservator. Especially since the ribbon has a photo attached. The combination of three materials and probably two different adhesives makes it fairly complicated.
