I can't see much of the trunk, but if you are set on a cascade it would be good to get that apex bent around quicker, more like a question mark "?" than what you have going here.

It would also be a good idea to remove the competing growth from the base of the tree or it will sap all the strength away from your cascade.

You could wire that whip up, too. That is quite often done to develop informal upright trees. But keep in mind, with azaleas, much of the strength will go into the suckers and lower branches, so keep them under control.

Regards,

Matt
