Azalea

It's finally bloomed and looking beautiful, but due to the bad weather we been having its looks a little out of shape when is the best time to prune, and how far can should prune it.

I would leave it till it finishes flowering and then only trim it slightly.
Be careful not to trim too late because you'll cut off next years flowers.
Give it a good feed after trimming it. I use diluted tea and tea bags around the base.
Hope this helps

 

Judging from the point of the bottom of the towels on the close line, your shrub looks short. How new is it? If only one year or two, I'd leave it alone until after next blooming .

Here is a big circle of Azelas, they are about up to my shoulder, been there about 12 years. I will prune to shape some only after they are done blooming.

 

I moved in 2 years ago and it was already there, so I'm not sure how long it's been there.

Just saying either way, it looks short. Unless there is a variety that stays tiny. Then I would say it is young.
